01 Aug Bringing STEM to Life at Wings Over Camarillo
As summer winds down and a new school year approaches, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be attending the Wings Over Camarillo Airshow once again. Every year, we travel to amazing airshows and conferences to share our passion for aviation and engineering with our Edustation Pro. But Wings Over Camarillo is a standout—an unforgettable event filled with breathtaking aerial displays, a diverse collection of aircraft for families to explore, and even a car show for the gearheads. It’s truly a can’t-miss experience.
About the Camarillo Airshow
Wings Over Camarillo began as a humble event 44 years ago, but it has since taken flight as one of the Central Coast’s premier airshows. Each year, this event dedicates itself to celebrating aviation history. From the STEM Pavilion to the Veterans Booth, families are taken on a journey through time, with every part of the show honoring the past in style.
Families are also given the opportunity to witness heart stopping airshows from pilots like Aaron Fitzgerald – Red Bull Helicopter and more. But that’s not all. Families will also be able to see and take pictures of different aircrafts up close and meet the pilots behind the cockpit. Not a fan of planes? That’s okay. The Wings Over Camarillo Airshow also features a small car show where children can watch the Wings Over Camarillo Classic Car Show and learning more about the different cars present.
Inspiring the Next Generation
The STEM Pavilion buzzes with a variety of STEM activities each year, all designed to inspire the next generation in aviation. Along with the local EEA chapter and other exhibitors, STEMPilot is happy to announce that we will be continuing our partnership with the Wings Over Camarillo Airshow in inspiring youth in aviation and STEM based careers. Our Edustation Pro offers youth the chance to fly a virtual Cessna 172 around the airport using Prepar3D. STEMPilot’s flight simulators give young learners a chance to master the fundamentals of flight with hands-on guidance from our very own founder and CEO, Jay LeBoff and California sales representative Justin Oseo.
But that’s not all! Young aviators also get the chance to learn the basics of drone piloting with our SAFEDrone software. They can fly a digital drone through the skies in our training missions. “As technology grows and advances, new career opportunities are bring made in STEM. It’s important for youth to realize that they don’t have to fly a plane in order to be a pilot and many industries are creating new job opportunities for drone pilots and drone engineers. That’s why STEMPilot created our drone programs—to educate youth about drone technology and inspire the newt programmer, drone engineer or drone pilot,” comments Kerri, STEMPilot’s administrative assistant/ sales and customer relations representative.
We’re thrilled to be invited back to Wings Over Camarillo’s STEM Pavilion this year where we will join many other fellow aviator and STEM vendors. The event will run from August 16th-17th, 7 AM – 5 PM. For tickets and directions, check out the Wings Over Camarillo Airshow website. Don’t forget to swing by our STEMPilot booth and take to the skies with us. We can’t wait to see you there!
