“Teaching is not a career for me; it is what I was born to do. STEM empowers young minds, fueling their potential to innovate and problem-solve. Seeing their curiosity turn into passion and watching them apply STEM principles to real-world challenges is incredibly fulfilling… I love that students leave my classroom with confidence and a sense of accomplishment. It’s a privilege to guide them on this journey to diversity, equality, and excellence, to be innovators and leaders.” Sarah Leonard, 2024 TSEA Award Recipient. Nominations are now open for the 2025 Trailblazing STEM Educator Award! ?? ?? In partnership with Challenger Center, we’re thrilled to recognize three K-12 educators who go above and beyond to inspire the next generation of explorers and innovators in #STEM. Winners will receive $5,000 for themselves; $5,000 for their school; free access to Challenger Center’s STEM education programs; a trip to Washington, DC, to be honored at the 2025 AIAA Awards Gala; and a special presentation ceremony at their school.

??? Recently, design engineers explored the exciting potential of GenAI in aerospace. They talked about how this groundbreaking technology opens doors for individuals outside the industry to engage in design engineering. ? ?? “I’m personally really excited about this idea of democratization of design. Historically, design has been limited to the headquarters of major industries. But with tools, like GenAI, we can tap into the creative potential of people with good ideas, but who aren’t necessarily experts.” –?Faez Ahmed, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, MIT ? ??
