Airway Science for Kids, Inc. exposes youth, especially those who are socially and economically challenged, to activities that inspire their interest and growth toward higher learning and careers in aerospace, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
The ASK program recently purchased 500 RivKits to help teach Portland School District students about aircraft construction. I visited the class and enjoyed the enthusiasm the students had towards the hands on experience of building the RivKits.
