This innovative program was developed to provide students
with an outstanding science experience through the
excitement of aviation. The EAA Aeroscholar courses
were developed in collaboration with Utah Valley State
College, along with aviation educators, EAA education
staff, aviation partners, high school science teachers,
as well as a National Advisory Panel of aviation
experts, nationally recognized educators, and business
leaders chaired by Joe B. Wyatt, chancellor emeritus of
Vanderbilt University.
