Recently, the center has made significant investments aimed at enhancing educational opportunities for local youth. These initiatives focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education, recognizing the importance of preparing the next generation for careers in these critical fields.
The center has partnered with local schools and educational organizations to develop programs that engage students in hands-on learning experiences. Workshops, internships, and mentorship programs are being implemented to inspire students and provide them with real-world insights into aerospace and engineering careers.
