Civil
Air Patrol's unique mission of Aerospace Education is driven by our objective,
as specified in CAP's 1946 Congressional charter, to "... encourage and
foster civil aviation in local communities." In later years, the words
"civil aviation" changed to "aerospace education." In both
the internal AE program (for Cadets and Officers), and the external program
(helping teachers and schools promote aerospace), Civil Air Patrol has become a
leading voice in this specific area of education.
The National Congress on Aviation and Space Education (NCASE) is the premier aerospace education conference of its
kind in the nation. It is also one of Civil Air Patrols major contributions to America’s
aerospace education community. CAP
uses this forum to promote science, math and technology in todays
classrooms. Presented annually since 1968, NCASE brings together educators from
around the nation to learn from a variety of gifted speakers and motivational
teachers. Aerospace-oriented hands-on activities for all grade levels are
offered in a variety of break-out sessions. Teachers share new experiences and
discover learning tools that will capture the imagination of their students.
Teachers learn how the wonders of aviation and space can be a way to teach
ordinary subjects in an extraordinary way. Several awards are presented during
the conference including the A. Scott Crossfield
Aerospace Education Teacher of the Year Award, the National Aeronautic
Associations Frank G. Brewer Trophy, National Coalition on Aviation Education
Leadership Award, and the National
Congress Crown Circle for Aerospace Education
Leadership.
