CAP's Aerospace Education Member (AEM) program is for K-12 formal and informal educators at schools, youth organizations, museums, and libraries. AEMs do not belong to a local CAP squadron, do not wear uniforms, and do not attend squadron meetings. There is a one-time $35 fee with free annual renewal. Our Educator's Guide provides a quick overview. Explore the links there and throughout our web pages to see how we can help you engage your students in experiential learning activities aligned with national standards.
