OBAP’s ACE Academy is designed to expose youths to the wide variety of career opportunities in aviation and aerospace. The program offers students a hands-on experience of learning the aviation history, fundamentals of aerodynamics, the role of government in aviation and the many careers available in the aerospace field.

The ACE Academy is a multi-day event for middle and high school students that have a general interest in learning about aviation. The goal of ACE Academy is to expose students to the many different careers in aviation. We also aim to show them the practical application of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects. By the end of the program, we hope that the participants will have a wider horizon of the many career opportunities available to them. We challenge our students to strive for excellence.

This program is targeted to 13- to 18-year-olds. Students will engage in multiple tours. There will also be classroom learning and hands on activities. For example, participants will build and fly multiple aerospace vehicles and learn the history of the Tuskegee Airmen.
