Consultant Attends Air Camp for Teachers
Pam Kraus, CTE Coordinator and STEM Consultant, took to the skies at Teachers Air Camp. Pam was one of 70 educators from 42 states selected to attend one of two sessions of Air Camp held in Dayton, Ohio in June and July. Teachers Air Camp is an exciting and rigorous adventure with three and a half days of carefully designed experiences that illuminate career options for students in the STEM fields as well as emphasizing how principles of flight can be used to teach STEM concepts in ways that enhance the learning process. Air Camp participants received instruction on the physics of flight from retired Air Force generals and then put it into practice on a variety of simulators, studied biomimicry by observing the flight of birds of prey, participated in engineering design challenges, flew drones, and much more, all while collaborating with each other on how these experiences can be used in their classrooms. For Pam, the highlight of Air Camp was the opportunity to pilot a Piper Cherokee under the direction of an FAA certified flight instructor. She logged 36 minutes of flight time over Greene County, Ohio. “I encourage all STEM teachers to apply for Air Camp,” Pam said. “The STEM instruction and experiences and the chance to collaborate with inspiring educators from all over the country will invigorate you and your teaching!” Applications for Teachers Air Camp will open in Spring 2022.
