The Airbus Foundation Flying Challenge is a team-based mentoring program focused on character development and STEM activities for children attending Palmer Pillans Middle School. The program presents the opportunity for Airbus employees to provide career exploration, life skills discussions, educational activities, and academic enrichment to middle school students. The goal is to enhance students’ life options by increasing their engagement in learning, encouraging them to adopt positive behaviors that will help them be successful, inspiring them to finish high school, and stimulating their interest in STEM and maybe even a STEM-related career.
To celebrate the conclusion of another successful program year, we are hosting a closing event for participants at the Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Center and Airbus Americas Engineering - Mobile. Volunteers are needed to assemble goody bags that will be given out at the event to volunteer mentors and student mentees.
