EAA-Siemens Join Forces on Youth Aviation Education

The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) is partnering with Siemens Digital Industries Software to grow youth engagement and education in the aviation industry. Siemens Digital Industries Software will become the official technology partner of EAA for education in aviation and aerospace.

EAA AeroEducate, the newest youth aviation initiative from EAA, brings an interactive, educational, and engaging experience to the youth while inspiring them on aviation. Siemens’ Academic Program will help EAA create clear career pathways into the world of engineering for top aerospace and defense manufacturers, as well as all agencies of the US Department of Defense.

“We are in the midst of the most innovative and disruptive period for aerospace in decades as companies strive to transform travel, space and defense,” says Dale Tutt, vice president of Aerospace & Defense, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “But there are also challenges ahead as the aviation industry strives to fill roles for pilots, engineers and technicians over the next 10-20 years. This is why Siemens is proud to partner with EAA, a great organization that recognizes the importance of engaging students in STEM, to empower the next generation of aerospace talent.”

Additional details and opportunities will be announced as joint programming develops.
