CAP promotes the use of aerospace themes to help teachers excite and motivate their students to excel in science, math, technology, language arts, social studies, plus other traditional subjects. We've got an exciting lineup for next year's premier aviation and space education event. It will be held in Washington DC on April 3-6 2002. Click here for more details. Civil Air Patrol's internal program has two parts, one for cadets and and one for senior members.
Cadets have a mandatory aerospace education program.
They must learn about aerospace education to progress in Civil Air Patrol. The governing regulation for Cadet aerospace education is CAP Regulation 52-16. Cadets must pass formal tests to progress in the achievement levels and in the awards system. Cadets are presented with aerospace education opportunities as part of squadron meetings, encampments and field trips and through guest speakers, model building and flying. Senior members have an elective aerospace education program.
