STEM Kit Program

AE STEM Kit Program

The Civil Air Patrol’s Aerospace Education STEM Kit program provides STEM resources for hands-on, inquiry-based learning. The STEM Kit program has been providing a selection of STEM Kits to CAP Unit Aerospace Education Officers (AEOs) and CAP educator members since January 23, 2013, to educate the next generation STEM workforce.

The kits come at no cost to recipients, are designed to enhance current CAP educational curriculum and programs and will be ready for immediate implementation. CAP Unit AE Officers (or commanders), as well as CAP members who are educators, including AFJROTC instructors, can select one kit from the available options.

*** If you are a teacher or informal educator (such as Scouts or youth groups), you may join Civil Air Patrol as an Aerospace Education Member (AEM) and apply for these free kits. Find out about all of our free aerospace/STEM programs for educators, and, how to join HERE.

The STEM Kit program continues to set new records! So far this fiscal year, this program has filled over 3,800 applications, reached over 1 million participants, and distributed over 8,900 kits. We want to thank our members for applying for a kit, waiting patiently for their kit to arrive, working with students and cadets, and diligently completing evaluations.
