Free Online Aerospace Resource Gains Space-Related Content

Sierra Space is becoming the newest content provider for EAA’s AeroEducate online resource and will be adding space-related content to its already-strong offerings, EAA announced.

The agreement with Sierra Space gives EAA AeroEducate a true space-oriented subject matter expert to help create new space-focused activities for the K-12 students and their teachers who use the platform. In the future, the company will develop youth space-related awards under the AeroEducate achievement badge program.

Rick Larsen, EAA’s Vice President of communities and member programs explained, “AeroEducate is designed to be an ever-evolving resource for young people who want to discover more about aviation, aerospace, and the sciences involved in them. The content provided by Sierra Space expands the offerings that young people, as well as their parents and teachers, are seeking as they explore the possibilities in all of those areas.”

EAA launched AeroEducate in 2022 as a free aviation education program created in partnership with other companies and organizations around the world. It offers unique content for kids in grades K-12 and uses a badging system to track progress of individuals as they complete each grade level. Parents and teachers can also create an account to access the program’s catalog of educational group activities for the classroom or home use.

Matthew Clarke, Chief Brand Officer for Sierra Space said, “The rapidly developing space economy and associated community offer multiple pathways for young people to discover opportunities for their own future and working with EAA AeroEducate allows Sierra Space to help inspire a new generation to pursue space industry skills and expertise.

“As our dreams and curiosity for what’s next in space exploration inspire us, we know the next generation will be equally moved by those dreams worth chasing.”
