Aerospace Education

     Civil Air Patrol promotes and supports aerospace education, both for its own members and the general public. Such education helps prepare American citizens to meet the challenges of a sophisticated aerospace society and understand its related issues.

     CAP offers more than 30 educational products, including a secondary textbook, Aerospace: The Journey of Flight, and the middle-school-level Aerospace Dimensions. Teachers can get free classroom materials and lesson plans from CAP by joining CAP’s Aerospace Education Membership program. All CAP materials meet national standards.

     CAP joins with the U.S. Air Force each year in sponsoring the National Congress on Aviation and Space Education, (NCASE) the nation’s premier conference in this field. There educators from across the country learn how to use aviation and space themes in a variety of subject areas. CAP has sponsored NCASE since 1967 and its programs reach more than 50,000 students each year.

     CAP also sponsors several prestigious awards for those who promote aerospace to the field.
