Over the years, Air Show organizers heard stories of how the show inspired people to pursue a future in aviation or aeronautics. To further inspire others, organizers have integrated a S.T.E.A.M. -- science, technology, engineering, art and math -- element this year, sponsored by Dunn Capital Management and All About Achieving Learning Centers. It is being called STEAM World.
STEAM World will offer educational enhancements for children of all ages, including elements such as virtual reality displays, robotics and drone demonstrations. Additional interactive exhibits and activities will be featured courtesy of All About Achieving.
According to the International Council of Air Shows, the United States lags considerably behind other developed nations in S.T.E.A.M. proficiency at the secondary school level. Jobs in the aerospace sector are among the highest paid and the most premier opportunities in the country and there are reportedly 60,000 S.T.E.A.M. centric jobs that remain unfilled.
Organizers hope to introduce students to potential mentors, broaden the horizon of a student's career and education options, and to make the Air Show a curriculum extension of the local classroom.
Over 800 students from Martin and St. Lucie counties will experience a very special day on November 1, 2019 where they will get the first look at the 2019 show, meet the pilots and explore all that STEAM World has to offer.
The experience will be included in general admission to the Air Show on November 2-3, 2019.
The Stuart Air Show, sponsored by Audi, will be November 1st - 3rd at the Martin County Airport, also known as Witham Field.
