Flight Crew

Elevating Youth Voices. Inspiring Future STEM Leaders.

The Flight Crew elevates young voices in STEM from across the country to inspire their peers and demonstrate that STEM is for everyone and happens everywhere.

The annual program features remarkable youth leaders who represent their states, show what’s possible, and spark their peers’ curiosity in STEM. Motivated by their impactful STEM experiences beyond the classroom, Flight Crew members share their stories on regional, state and national stages; participate in mentorship opportunities; and lend their voices to push for more STEM opportunities in out-of-school-time.

Since its debut, the Flight Crew has been recognized by NASA, The National STEM Festival, SXSW EDU and more.

Inspiring the Next Generation of STEM Leaders

The magic of the Flight Crew initiative is its unique ability to foster community and connection for youth in a safe, supportive environment to grow their confidence as STEM leaders and make their voices heard. 

Whether it’s sharing what they discovered in their afterschool science club or the excitement of internships and college applications — the connections built by shared experiences help open doors, foster excitement and spark curiosity for each young person participating in the Flight Crew experience. With a near-peer mentorship model at the core of the program, Flight Crew members inspire each other and rally on the sidelines as they each share their STEM journeys with new audiences.
