The Aerospace Corporation is committed to sharing our passion for the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines to inspire the next generation—shaping and securing the future of our nation. Aerospace is celebrating back to school by rewarding teachers who create lesson plans that inspire students to learn more about space STEM. Together with our STEM community partner and sponsor, Aerospace Federal Credit Union, we are awarding teachers small classroom grants for up to $500 each for their lesson plans.
