Aero-Linx!

Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough, if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this is done on the Internet.

The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into cyber-aero-space for awhile.

Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always welcome, as well.

Aero Linx: FAA STEM AVSED

The FAA created the STEM Aviation and Space Education (AVSED) Outreach Program in 1961 to prepare and inspire the next generation of skilled professionals for the aviation/aerospace communities, using science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) based programs.

The STEM AVSED program continues to reach communities across the U.S. and beyond to provide expertise and resources on civil and commercial aviation.

From an Aviation Career Education Academy and science fairs to guest lectures and hands-on workshops, our STEM AVSED program blazes a path to high-flying careers in aviation and aerospace.
