Statements & Search Criteria Statements Mission Statement The mission of the NASEI/Air and Space Academy is to introduce students to career opportunities within the aerospace industry and provide and support an aerospace curriculum that can be adopted by any high school wanting to offer a state approved STEM career path. Background Statement The Kentucky Institute for Aerospace Education began its work in February 2010. Why did we create this organization? In 2002, Frankfort High School had started the work on their own aviation/aerospace initiative. In presenting our work at various conferences and events, the question we heard the most from teachers and aviation enthusiasts was, "How did you design and develop your program?". In 2010, we decided to recruit 12 schools from the "lowest hanging fruit" to join us in the work. The first KIAE schools were from Morehead, Bowling Green, Danville, Frankfort, Louisville, Tompkinsville, Glasgow, Greenville, Corbin (2), Lexington, and Campbellsville. These schools from across the Commonwealth had airports close by with exceptional capacity, they had an on-site facilitator (teacher) that organized the work, and they had willing students that were excited about aviation. Once we had our 12 schools, we then moved to create partnerships with various groups, post secondary education, aviation industry organizations, businesses with aviation concentration, and others wishing to join us in the work. Three post secondary institutions immediately wished to join us: Eastern Kentucky University Aviation, University of Kentucky College of Engineering, and the Kentucky Technical College System. To them, we could be a "pipeline" providing their students with a head-start on their education in aerospace (pilot, mechanic, air traffic controller, engineer, and many other careers in aerospace). We also partnered with the Kentucky Aviation Association, UPS, the local Experimental Aviation Association chapters, and other network organizations to build this initiative. Our blueprint is to provide students direct experience with flight, aircraft maintenance, and engineering. This experience weaves in content learning of science, technology, and mathematics. By working with our industry volunteers on this work, our students are learning what it takes to move forward in a career in aerospace. In year 1, we have influenced the lives of over 200 students in Kentucky. As we build this program, we have the the capacity to affect over 500 students in our second year. These students will be the next designer, pilot, aircraft mechanic, or air traffic controller. Impact Statement Accomplishments Goals Needs Statement Pressing Needs CEO/Executive Director Statement The National Air and Space Education Institute is the only one of its kind in the world. There are pockets of high school aerospace programs scattered in various cities, but this is the only statewide network providing direct aerospace experiences for students in public education. We take advantage of existing networks and partnerships in order to provide support and resources to our schools. In conclusion, the byproduct of this work is that we produce students that are high character (precision, persistence, problem solvers and etc.) and perform better in STEM. Board Chair Statement From the governance perspective, the most recent success KIAE has achieved is getting Governor Beshear and his administration on board and working with us to get a permanent facility to work out of at Capital City Airport. We know we do good work with our current facility and budget constraints and are moving to impact students for life. A reliable funding source may always be our biggest challenge. The most important KIAE success is what I see in a students eyes when they realize they can repair a real airplane, then go fly it. People underestimate the specialness of airplanes and flight to the students and we use that specialness to keep the student in school and learning. Our crew of volunteers model for the students appropriate behavior, dress, self esteem and commitment to a long term project and I believe that is an important component of what we teach.

Produce the next generation of aerospace professionals (engineers, pilots, air traffic controllers, aircraft mechanics, and other aerospace careers). Tools that will be used are surveys and direct communication with on-site facilitators. After first cycle has been implemented, we will examine data from state/national assessments for each student that participated in the program. Learning Lab - 7 Aircraft Description We currently have 8 aircraft at the KIAE location in Frankfort, Kentucky. The goal is to maintain, build, or repair these aircraft so that they remain airworthy or become airworthy. Students learn about aircraft systems here. We also provide students with flight instruction at the end of their junior year of high school.

Produce more aerospace professional entering workforce. Students could earn introductory certifications in flight and aircraft maintenance. Industry level certifications Students moving to aerospace slots in college. We can track our students to see where they go and the programs they have entered. Program Comments CEO Comments Sustaining the KIAE initiative will be challenging especially as we scale up to bring in more schools. It will not only take network support but also the support of folks that buy into our vision for impacting young people in many different ways. 6
