Foundation Educator Achievement Award - American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics

Grant Name: Foundation Educator Achievement Award

Funding Organization: American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics

Background: Every two years, the AIAA Foundation recognizes up to seven outstanding educators for their accomplishments in exciting K-12 students about math and science and preparing them to use and contribute to tomorrow's technologies.

It takes a special teacher to inspire students about science and math. You know the ones we mean. They make coming to class an adventure. They ignite the interest and participation of even the most introverted students. And they do it every day.

Now you can help AIAA and the AIAA Foundation pay tribute to these special teachers by nominating them for an Educator Achievement Award. Complete a nomination form today, and tell us about their remarkable efforts in the classroom. (Note: The nomination period will re-open June 2011).

Recognize and honor Educator Associates for the work they do to support the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) in its efforts to bring “real world” STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) to the classroom in new and exciting ways.

Nominate teachers who excite and engage students through STEM content and experiences. Through this recognition, AIAA celebrates the “best and brightest” educators for inspiring students.
