STEM+C Taking Flight Event
2022-04-09 10:00 - 20:00 | Gilbert Regional Park, 3005 E Queen Creek Rd, Gilbert, Arizona, 85298, United States
Taking Flight is a daylong immersive experience in aviation, aeronautics, aerospace, robotics, and is a STEM focused event. It is designed to engage students (students for the purpose of this event can be anyone of any age who wants to have fun while learning) in RC Airplane Flying, RC Multi-Rotor flying, Rocketry, and RC Cars and Trucks. The event demonstrates the STEM applicability of all these “Hobbies”. At Taking Flight, students will have the opportunity to “Buddy Box” with an instructor and fly a trainer RC Airplane, or a Multi-rotor vehicle. Students have the opportunity to build and fly small model rockets with the help of our model rocketry volunteers. They will learn about many different STEM enrichment programs from all over the valley (TARC, UAS4STEM, First Lego League, etc). We invite schools from around the valley to showcase their engineering, aviation, aerospace, and robotics programs. We invite companies from around the valley to talk with students about career choices in the applicable fields.

STEM Community Lunchtime Conversations - Advanced Manufacturing
2020-10-29 12:00 - 13:00
Please join us Thursday, Oct. 29 at noon for the next installment of STEM Community Lunchtime Conversations. This subject for this session is Advanced Manufacturing.

Disparaging myths have circulated about American manufacturing for decades. Parents have misconceptions of manufacturing jobs and have discouraged their children from pursuing careers in manufacturing because they think factories are dirty and dangerous, or lacking a solid wage and career opportunities.

The reality is that manufacturing is an advanced, high-value industry that represents innovation and technology. Working in manufacturing offers today’s workforce great compensation and benefits, a robust market of available jobs, challenging and cutting-edge work, and safe working conditions.

Our presenters leading this discussion are experts in the advanced manufacturing industry and will debunk misconceptions about manufacturing and cover the career pathways to advanced manufacturing jobs.

East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT) Aviation Program - Advisory Council meeting / Open House
2019-09-26 17:00 - 19:00 | East Valley Institute of Technology, 6625 S Power Rd, Mesa, 85212, United States
Aviation Industry Partners. If you are not familiar with the Aviation program at EVIT, they are one of the few high school Career and Technical programs across the country that focuses on aviation. EVIT pride’s itself on being a “prep school” for future aviation professionals that also offers dual college credit. Many of EVIT graduates are flight instructors, commercial pilots, certified mechanics, air traffic controllers, and UAS operators. Students can earn up to 22 college credits to include a private pilot license before graduation.

The 2019/20 school year is underway, and EVIT would like to invite you to their first Advisory Council meeting / Open House. EVIT will introduce and explain the details of their program, by letting you listen and talk with the instructors and various students. If you would like to then continue to serve on the committee, they can always use the support. The EVIT committee helps to guide their program to adhere to industry and training standards. Another primary role of the advisory council is to coordinate working internships for our second year seniors.

EVIT hopes that you will come and learn more about their fantastic program.
