AIAA
The STEM K-12 Committee is proud to present “Aerospace Micro-Lessons.” These lessons are easily digestible lessons focused on aerospace principles. Each lesson is broken down into grade levels and are meant to spark conversation and interest in aerospace. Lessons will range from engineering, to mathematics, to physics, to highlighting aerospace anniversaries — all of which will be presented in a way that easily relates to your students.
