Aerospace Educators’ Workshop

Do you love aviation—want to go the extra mile and share that passion with students and teachers? Join the FAA Aviation and Space Education (AVSED) Team for this workshop. We will share ideas and show you how to motivate students and help teachers using simple aviation activities. Even if you already know the benefits of using aerospace to motivate young people, this workshop will help you stay on the path—delivering when it really matters.

You will learn how to:

- Use real life math applications for grades 5-9 with FlyBy Math.
- Use hands-on "make it and take it" activities to reinforce science skills and physics of flight.

There will be lots of surprises and prizes so, what are you waiting for? Let us help you get on the right heading.

Professional Development Seminars

This seminar will include activities that will bring to light conse-quential thinking, navigating emotions and recognizing patterns of emotional intelligence.

It is that time in the gap of when something occurs and how we handle our emotions that have the lasting effect on our ability to lead effectively. This presentation will have continuing follow-up sessions of 50 minutes each on Friday and Saturday.

Today’s world is full of challenges, crises and choices, especially in the aviation industry as it changes and adapts to changing economics and technologies. How can aviation enthusiasts and professionals move successfully with the changing tides and times?

LiftOFF Leadership gives participants an opportunity to explore their unique values and put them in the context of their careers, chal-lenges and opportunities.
