The STEMPilot team recently visited BALA to lead 7th and 8th grade students through an interactive aviation STEM lesson that combined math, problem-solving, and real-world application. Students began by planning a flight, calculating distance, speed, and time to reach their destination. They then took those plans into action by flying the routes on STEMPilot flight simulators, experiencing firsthand how classroom concepts translate into real aviation scenarios.

The session gave students an engaging, hands-on way to apply math and critical thinking skills while exploring aviation and STEM pathways. We were also glad to have Los Angeles Unified School District  STEAM Coordinator Kristine join us for a class during the visit.

Thank you to the students and educators at BALA for a great day of learning — we loved seeing the focus, curiosity, and excitement in the classroom.
