The Air & Space Forces Association (AFA) believes in the power that students hold in securing our nation’s future; however, only 1 in 5 high school students are interested in careers in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM). To equip our students with the knowledge and skills required for future innovation, we must increase the number of students and teachers in STEM fields.

That’s why AFA is part of the nationwide initiative to improve STEM learning— including aerospace education—to better prepare students for the competitive global economy and increase their chances of becoming future leaders who solve our nation’s toughest challenges.
