The AIAA Cape Canaveral Section is proud to reflect on the success of the AIAA Public Policy Outreach Event 2026 at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University on National Space Day. With approximately 80 attendees and 40 student research posters, the event brought together students, faculty, industry professionals, government leaders, educators, and community partners to explore the growing connection between aerospace, public policy, workforce development, and community engagement. The day reinforced the importance of creating spaces where innovation, education, and public service can come together.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible, and special thanks to Amir Yah for leading the development of this initiative and to Kevin Johnson for his leadership and support throughout the process! We’re excited to continue building these conversations and opportunities for the future of aerospace. For a more in-depth summary of the event, visit the link in the description.

Volunteer with AIAA at the Warbird Museum!

The Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum is seeking volunteers—and this is a great opportunity for AIAA members and friends to support aviation history and STEM education right here on the Space Coast.

There are two ways to get involved:

- One-day / short-term volunteering: Help with cleaning, organizing, and other “day-of” activities with minimal training. Great for those looking to give back without a long-term commitment.

- Recurring volunteering: Opportunities such as docents, aircraft restoration, and renovation projects. These roles require additional coordination and ongoing commitment to the museum.

We’re also exploring the idea of hosting an AIAA Volunteer Day at the museum for those interested in participating as a group. If you’re interested, please let us know through AIAA so we can help coordinate efforts — all volunteers must also register directly with the museum here:
