The academy provides a unique opportunity for middle and high school students to experience hands-on aviation activities, including orientation flights and interactions with aviation professionals, while exploring diverse aerospace career paths.
The OBAP ACE Academy in Boston offers middle and high school students an immersive, week-long summer program designed to introduce them to diverse career opportunities within the aviation and aerospace industries. Participants gain hands-on experience and knowledge in key areas such as aviation history, the fundamentals of aerodynamics, and the role of government in aviation. The program aims to provide practical application of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects through interactive learning experiences.
Students will have the chance to take an orientation flight in a Cessna or Piper aircraft, receive introductory aviation education, and go on field trips to various aviation-related facilities. Activities may also include flying full-motion flight simulators, learning about leadership qualities, and operating unmanned aerial systems and remote-control vehicles. The academy emphasizes meeting aviation professionals and exploring different career pathways, including pilot, air traffic controller, airport management, aircraft maintenance, and military aviation careers. The program is co-sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE).
A typical day involves introductory aviation education, hands-on activities like flight simulators, and field trips to aviation facilities and educational institutions where students meet aviation professionals.
This program is best for boys and girls aged 13 to 17 with a general interest in learning about aviation and aerospace, especially those considering a career as a pilot.
