Glider-stem - our outreach to teens: we hosted an los angeles based irvine stem magnet school where middle schoolors had a glider day at their school followed by a fly-day forthe class in april 2023. We also hosed 30+ at risk teens from the junior-cadet program at the lapd who flew with us during their group fly-day after they participated in an aviation workshop that we held at whiteman airport in los angeles. Out of the class one of the students is now a regular flight student and is applying for solo scholarships towards his private pilot rating. We also hosted scouting groups, explorer groups and a 4-h group for field trips and demonstrations, learning about aeronautics, and career paths as well as getting to take the controls up in the air and log in their first flight instruction.
