Remember if you are interested in participating in this event, be sure that you take the necessary training in LSM to become an official STEM AVSED Outreach Representative. Supervisory approval is required. By becoming enrolled as an Outreach Representative, the FAA is better able to track the Aeronautical Center’s Outreach activities. Our goal is to educate our nation’s children about STEM and the State of Oklahoma. The Aeronautical Center will play a vital role in this process.
