Something you don’t see every day: an airplane rolling down the road! 😄
So proud to bring the Zenith airplane to Bids4Kids at the RV Hall of Fame! Built by Goshen students in partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Elkhart County, this project is proof of what young people can do when we give them the chance to soar.

Ruth, one of our STAY students, recently took her very first flying lesson! ✈️ Thanks to a scholarship from STAY, she’s getting free flight time to kickstart her journey in the sky. We can’t wait to see where she goes from here. Congratulations, Ruth!

Our Goshen CTE class just got started with a trip to Goshen Municipal Airport for a look at the STAY Indiana aircraft build. Back in the classroom? A real Fishers bi-plane sits right in the room!
South Bend Schools and Jimtown have joined in, sending students to the Mishawaka Pilots Club airport through a new work-based learning program. More students, more rivets, more careers taking flight.
This is STEM in Aviation Youth

Goshen aviation CTE program will be working on the airplane build throughout the year!

LOOK AT THE AMAZING THINGS HAPPENING IN CTE!

Our Career & Technical Education programs are giving students the opportunity to LEARN, CREATE, EXPLORE, and PREPARE FOR THEIR FUTURES!

From hands-on learning and real-world experiences to industry skills and exciting career opportunities, our students are doing incredible things every day!

Goshen CTE is where passion meets opportunity!

The future is happening NOW — and our students are ready for it!

Oshkosh gave our students some magical moments this year.
Some of our STAY ladies toured inside a WWII B-25 bomber, led by the woman pilot who flies it for the Delaware Aviation Museum. Others met inspirational pilot Jessica Cox of the Right Footed foundation, the first certified armless pilot!
One student snapped 10,000+ photos and caught the eye of a pro aviation photographer, Josiah Walz , who let him try his high-powered camera — swipe to see the difference!
And some students got to fly into and out of Oshkosh with a local Mishawaka Pilots Club club pilot, seeing the world’s largest airshow from a whole new perspective.
Thank you to everyone that helped make Oshkosh magical for STAY Indiana students!

Huge thanks to Views on Learning and Impress Jewelers for helping make our trip to Oshkosh possible!
We also owe a big shoutout to TechKnowledgy for hooking us up with a Starlink unit, giving us our own private internet to contact home while the cell towers were overwhelmed by 700,000 fellow aviation fans.
Highlights from the grounds included a stop at Zenith Aircraft to check out their new plane design, 750 Super. Cruzer— a bigger version of the two airplanes STAY is currently building with our third on order! We also swung by UL Power, the engine manufacturer behind STAY’s aircraft, and walked away with some free shirts!
