Aerospace is committed to inspiring the next generation. Since 2013, we have supported K-12 education by hosting educational programs for teachers and high school students. Free of charge, these events expose participants to the research, state-of-the art facilities, and 21st century skills needed to succeed in the STEM fields and provide real-world examples of problems and solutions.
Upcoming Programs
Audience with Aerospace
Join us for an extraordinary presentation with Trevor Jahn, Commander of Crew 19, who led an analog mission to Mars at one of Earth's most extreme and Mars-like environments. The Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station (FMARS), operated by The Mars Society on Devon Island in the Canadian High Arctic, serves as a crucial testbed for future human Mars exploration.
This is a rare opportunity to hear firsthand from a mission commander about the realities of Mars analog research—from the technical innovations being tested to the human challenges of living and working in one of Earth's most Mars-like environments. Whether you're interested in space exploration, planetary science, human factors, or cutting-edge technology, this talk offers valuable insights into humanity's journey to Mars.
Following the presentation, we'll open the floor for Q&A, so come prepared with your questions for Commander Trevor Jahn!
Aerospace Institute
The Aerospace STEM Institute is a virtual summer program held on July 28, 2026. The virtual event will run from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Daylight Time).
