Aerospace Education Excellence Award Program (AEX)
| Each year, the Lewis Center, in partnership with the Civil Air Patrol, offers a program for AAE students in grades 4 through 8. Students participate in this fun-filled, hands-on educational program that meets in the spring for six weeks. This program is provided to excite and motivate students in the science of aviation and awareness of aerospace careers. |  |
 |
Each 2-hour workshop focuses on a specific aspect of aerospace/aviation. Students get to "fly" in the T-40 flight simulator. A "field day" is also included in the program, with students visiting the Victor Valley Radio Flyer Club Airfield in Hesperia. Upon completion of the program, students are presented with a certificate from the Lewis Center and the Civil Air Patrol. Each registered participant receives an AEX T-shirt. |
