Aerospace Educators’ Workshop

Do you love aviation—want to go the extra mile and share that passion with students and teachers? Join the FAA Aviation and Space Education (AVSED) Team for this workshop. We will share ideas and show you how to motivate students and help teachers using simple aviation activities. Even if you already know the benefits of using aerospace to motivate young people, this workshop will help you stay on the path—delivering when it really matters.

You will learn how to:

- Use real life math applications for grades 5-9 with FlyBy Math.
- Use hands-on “make it and take it” activities to reinforce science skills and physics of flight.

There will be lots of surprises and prizes so, what are you waiting for? Let us help you get on the right heading.

This workshop will provide strategies for effective time management and stress coping techniques so you can achieve a better work-life balance and reclaim your personal life.

"Leaning into Aviation" is a hands-on simulation of the build process of a Boeing 777, where the participants assemble building block airplanes and then incrementally improve the process using lean principles introduced during the seminar. Participants work in teams, in a healthy competition to best each other. This event highlights the evolution from traditional aircraft manufacturing into a lean environment where waste is eliminated and continuous process improvement is realized.

"Six Stages to High Altitude Leadership" is designed to provide participants with thought provoking and constructive ideas as they deal with life and business uncertainties. It is a flightplan for facing great challenges or when changing directions; a navigational tool when old ways aren’t working and new paths need to be forged.

The Six Stages that will be explored in this interactive presentation are: 1. Choice 2. Possibility 3. Change 4. Courage 5. Commitment 6. Lift Off. The presentation is supported by inspirational video and music depicting aviation analogies for the Six Stages. It is also participative and encourages challenging discussions.
