Aviation news international- Colorado students and community members can get a taste of what it\u2019s like to work in the aviation industry with Aims Community College\u2019s new mobile aviation lab.<\/p>\n

The lab is a trailer that can travel to schools and events, allowing people to experience the many different career opportunities in aviation. This classroom on wheels includes virtual reality flight simulators, an air traffic control simulation, drones, STEM-related activities, and more. It will make one of its first appearances at the upcoming\u00a0Girls in Aviation Day<\/a>\u00a0at Aims.<\/p>\n

Promoting Aviation Careers to Underserved Communities<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Last fall,\u00a0Aims received a grant<\/a>\u00a0from the Colorado Department of Transportation Division of Aeronautics to build the mobile aviation lab to promote careers in aviation and aerospace among Colorado K-12 students. The state developed the Colorado Aviation Education Grant to increase workforce development and support the expected growth in the industry.<\/p>\n

Sara Bauermeister, a certified flight instructor at Aims, was part of the team that developed the mobile aviation lab. \u201cI’m excited that the State of Colorado funded this so that we can go to underrepresented and underserved communities, because those are the ones who don’t get told about aviation.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to full-time faculty and staff, a group of work-study students helped build and develop the mobile aviation lab. \u201cLots of our students go into flight instruction, so it\u2019s a great opportunity for them,\u201d Bauermeister said. \u201cWho better to get people excited than those just starting their careers in it?\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the students involved in the project is Matthew Rivera. \u201cI grew up in a pretty low-income area and really had no understanding about planes until I joined the military,\u201d he said. He sees the aviation lab as a way to connect more people to the world of aviation. \u201cI wish that I would’ve had that as a kid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rivera believes providing these hands-on experiences is an invaluable tool to inspire the next generation of aviation professionals. \u201cI can tell kids that they could be a pilot, but providing a real-world application of flying and what it’d feel like to look around into a cockpit, that for a kid I think it brings into reality.\u201d\u00a0 The mobile aviation lab had a soft launch and already the team operating it has received incredible feedback. \u201cIt\u2019s been so much fun,\u201d Rivera said. \u201cSome kids are shy and it just took them completely out of that shell. It just reaches out to people you wouldn’t think would be interested.\u201d<\/p>\n

Girls in Aviation Day<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The mobile aviation lab will be part of the Girls in Aviation Day event and activities on September 23 at the Aviation Technology Building on the Greeley Campus. The free event is designed to introduce girls, ages 8-18, to aviation through activities, simulations, demonstrations and a career panel with representatives in the industry. \u201cLess than 10 percent of pilots are female and we need to get that number up. It’s nice to have a tool that we can use to show people about aviation and give them role models to look up to,\u201d Bauermeister said. Learn more about the event and register at\u00a0aims.co\/girls-aviation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can request the Aims mobile aviation lab for schools and events at\u00a0aims.co\/aviation-lab<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aims Aviation programs are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved and provide a hands-on learning experience through advanced simulators, flight training in modern aircraft, drones and quality coursework taught by experienced professionals.
