21 Jul Dupont Middle School Ignites STEM Education with STEMPILOT
This fall, 1st Sgt Kevin A. Dupont Middle School in Chicopee, Massachusetts, is taking STEM education to new heights—literally. After experiencing an in-person STEMPILOT demo firsthand, the school made the exciting decision to purchase three Edustation Pro Curve simulators and has already placed a second order for a Pilot Pro 4i Curve, rounding out an impressive and immersive aviation lab in their technology wing.
This new space will serve as the home of an exploratory career course in aviation, opening the door for students to discover real-world STEM and aerospace applications through hands-on learning.
From Demo to Deployment: A First-Class Experience
What started as a classroom demo quickly evolved into a transformative educational opportunity. During STEMPILOT’s visit, students at Dupont Middle School engaged enthusiastically with the Edustation Pro Curve simulators, grasping complex aviation concepts in real time. Their attentiveness and rapid retention impressed our team deeply—and it became clear that this school was ready for more than just a one-day flight.
We’d like to extend our sincere thanks to Mr. Endelos for his warm hospitality and for recognizing the value of aviation education. By inviting STEMPILOT into the classroom, Mr. Endelos gave his students the chance to test-drive their future.
“This was one of our most transformational demos to date,” said the STEMPILOT team. “The students were engaged, eager, and truly took off with the knowledge.”
Building the Future of Aerospace, One Flight at a Time
The installation of Dupont’s aviation lab marks an exciting expansion in STEMPILOT’s mission: bringing real-world STEM skills to middle and high school students across the country. With three Edustation Pro Curve simulators and a Pilot Pro 4i, students will not only learn the foundations of flight but also progress to advanced aviation concepts using realistic instrumentation and software.
This tiered simulator setup allows students to begin with guided instruction and build toward more complex flight planning, navigation, and instrumentation—providing a complete foundation in aviation and aerospace education.
Why Our In-Person Demos Make a Difference
We’re proud to offer in-person demo opportunities throughout the tri-state area. These demos allow school staff to observe how students respond to our equipment and curriculum before making a purchase decision. For schools like Dupont Middle, the experience was a game-changer.
Teachers often tell us how valuable it is to witness students light up with curiosity and quickly understand the physics, math, and technology behind flight simulation. There’s simply no substitute for hands-on experience.
If you’re an educator or school leader interested in scheduling a demo for your school, contact us today to book your session and take your classroom to the skies.
Why Aviation Education Matters—Especially in Massachusetts
Massachusetts is a growing hub for technology, transportation, and STEM careers. By embedding aviation education at the middle school level, schools like Dupont are preparing their students early for in-demand industries. Flight simulators do more than entertain—they build skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, engineering, and coding.
Aviation education can also open doors to lifelong careers in aerospace, commercial aviation, military service, drone technology, and beyond. STEMPILOT’s curriculum is designed to empower the next generation of pilots, engineers, and innovators with tools and knowledge that can lead them into high-growth career fields.
Thank You, Dupont Middle School!
We are thrilled to welcome Dupont Middle School into the STEMPILOT family as both a new and now repeat customer. As they launch their new aviation lab this school year, we look forward to seeing how their students continue to engage, grow, and fly toward their futures.
