Intro to Aviation course
Buckle up, because your student's education is about to take off—literally. Introduction to Aviation with Av-STEM is a high-flying online course that turns your living room into flight school. From Bernoulli's principle to flight simulators, this isn't your average science elective. It's hands-on, career-building, joystick-wielding STEM with wings.
With 10 robust modules, your teen will dig into aviation history, aerodynamics, navigation, airplane instruments, flight calculations, weather, weight and balance, and more. He'll learn to read real aviation charts, predict airplane performance, and run preflight checks like a pro. And yes, there's a flight simulator module too—because who wouldn't want to "test fly" what he's learned?
The course clocks in at 110–120 hours, making it perfect for a ¾ high school credit. And while it's designed to inspire future pilots and mechanics (hello, FAA-predicted industry shortage), even students who never plan to set foot in a cockpit will gain transferable skills in physics, critical thinking, and tech literacy.
To keep things grounded, the course includes about 30 career interviews from real-world aviation pros. It also comes with nearly everything your student needs—except for a joystick. (We recommend the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. Totally worth it.)
If you've been searching for a way to make STEM feel less like a chore and more like a countdown to liftoff, Introduction to Aviation delivers.
