Registration is underway for Civil Air Patrol’s Aerospace Connections in Education (ACE) Program, an interactive STEM program for kindergarten-through-sixth-grade educator members and CAP volunteers working with those grade levels.

ACE offers:

  • Aerospace-themed lessons in academics, character education, and physical fitness.

  • Free, grade-specific manipulatives (like sixth-grade rocket footballs) for every participant.

  • Downloadable curriculum guides in eServices.

Find details and curriculum highlights on the ACE page.

ACE Plus ProgramFifth- through eighth-grade educators in the ACE Program can have their classroom “adopted” by a local CAP squadron. Adult members and cadets will visit to co-teach ACE and other aerospace/STEM modules.

Learn how to connect with a squadron on the ACE Plus page.

STEM Kit ProgramAfter a four-month pause, Aerospace Education has reopened applications for STEM Kits. These interactive kits bring aviation, space, and cyber directly into the classroom.

  • Applications submitted in August by aerospace education officers, aerospace education members, and commanders will be reviewed in September.

  • Once an application has been approved, please allow six to eight weeks for a kit to arrive.

Explore available kits and the application process on the STEM Kit page
