Waterbury, CT — October 1, 2025 — STEMPILOT, a leader in STEM and flight simulation education, has launched its new After-School Aviation Lab, a turnkey program designed to introduce students in grades 4–12 to the world of aviation while strengthening STEM skills.

The program provides everything needed to bring aviation into after-school learning, including flight simulators, structured curriculum, instructor guides, and student activities. Each session blends one hour of STEM instruction with one hour of hands-on flying, allowing students to apply math, science, and engineering concepts in real time.

Program Highlights:

• Curriculum adapted for 1–2 hour after-school blocks
• Realistic flight simulators for hands-on learning
• Flexible packages for groups of 10 or 20 students
• Standards-aligned lessons in math, science, and engineering
• Instructor training and ongoing technical support

By the end of the program, students gain a clear understanding of the principles of flight, develop teamwork and problem-solving skills, and explore potential careers in aviation such as piloting, aerospace engineering, and air traffic control.

“Every young person deserves a chance to take the controls early and see how aviation connects directly to the STEM skills they learn in school,” said Jay Leboff, CEO of STEMPILOT. “The After-School Aviation Lab makes that opportunity accessible for schools and communities everywhere.”
