| The nature of aviation and space activities depends upon striving for excellence in science and technology. It also promotes the development of creative and logical thinking skills along with the teamwork concept for problem solving. What better way to stimulate learning and learn these important life skills than through the exciting experience of "hands-on" activities that explore the wonders of flight and space exploration.

The National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE) through its
Aviation Career Education Academy (ACE) camps has provided leadership, education and
guidance to acquaint young people with the potential of finding careers in the air
transportation system and general aviation.
The NBCFAE has reached well over 100,000
students nationwide spanning its thirty plus years.
ACE activities include, extended aviation career summer camps, day classes and briefings,
trips to airports, air flight to other cities, and visits to Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) facilities including towers and centers.
It is at these camps that we provide varying
activities that include overnight camp outings trips to the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), hands on activity, ground instruction, flight instruction, pilot
simulations, seminars, flight certification classes, and much more aviation education.
Students often end the ACE workshops with actually flying a single engine aircraft.
NBCFAE
has partnered with learning institutions, Federal Aviation Administration, the Organization
of Black Airline Pilots, Tuskegee Airmen, and other aviation groups to encourage students to
explore aviation and aerospace career opportunities. Some of our senior students and those
who attend on a regular basis have assumed careers in the aviation industry and
occupations as commercial and/or military pilots.

along with many other organizations.
The focus is on aviation career exploration with emphasis on opportunities
for women and minorities. Students experience instruction in aviation
history, the physics of flight, field trips to aviation sites and hands-on
activities.
Our goal is to have one program in each state and U.S. territory. This
program reaches approximately 2,000 students each summer. Dates, locations,
