| Civil Air Patrol members have the opportunity to educate themselves as well as other members in the subject of aerospace. Cadets are encouraged to work through a structured Aerospace Education course geared for their grade level and are awarded upon completion of the course. Senior members may take an Aerospace Education course and may also lead the cadets in their studies. Civil Air Patrol's Aerospace Education program is focused not only on its members, but on the general public, as well. CAP has a congressional tasking to stimulate public interest in aerospace issues. Each year, CAP sponsors nearly 200 workshops at colleges and universities across the US, which reach in excess of 5,000 educators. These workshops highlight basic aerospace knowledge and focus on advances in aerospace technology. Textbooks, learning tools, and visual aids, which are geared to stimulate interest in aerospace matters, are also provided for teachers to use in their classrooms. CAP sponsors the annual National Congress on Aviation and Space Education (NCASE), the premier aerospace education conference in the US, involving in excess of 1,000 educators from across the nation and overseas. |
