KC AVIATION STEM Is Taking Learning to New Heights

KC Aviation STEM uses ground-based aircraft for educational and experiential programs to inspire students in STEM fields of study, as well as to pursue aviation and aerospace related careers. Our mission is to provide future STEM leaders a real-world place to explore the world of flight, force and motion, weather, aviation careers, and achieve mo

re than they thought possible through a wide-range of high energy and engaging activities. The TriStar Experience

The TriStar Experience was founded by Kerry Floyd and Mike Saxton. There was a shortage of Pilot/STEM programs within the field of aviation, and they wanted the TriStar Experience to fill that gap. The plane that started it all is now a STEM classroom where students can experience an immersive learning opportunity in which they will experience aerodynamic science and the thrill of flight.

Check out all the fun we had with Briarcliff Elementary today! The kids built rockets and parachutes, learned about aviation from the experts, and had a day full of hands-on STEM learning.

Huge thanks to all of our wonderful volunteers to help make it possible.

"It's always good to find ways to connect what students are learning at school with what is happening around them in the community. TriStar Experience made that easy to do for our study of force and motion. The activities were prepared for us and connected to our state standards." - Missouri Principal
