The Air Force Association's mission to sustain a dominant air, space and cyberspace presence resonates strongly within AFA's Ramstein Chapter 507. Their conviction to support the mission begins in the classroom and continues long after last school bell. AFA Chapter 507 is proud to be a member of the Community Partnership Program as they continue to support student development through STEM education opportunities, AFA national intiatives, and classroom support.
AFA believes in the power that students hold in securing our nation’s future. Yet, only 16 percent of American high school seniors are interested in careers in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM). To equip our students with the knowledge and skills required for future innovation, we must increase the number of students and teachers in STEM fields.
AFA is part of the nationwide initiative to improve STEM learning—including aerospace education—to better prepare students for the competitive global economy and increase their chances of becoming future leaders who solve our nation’s toughest challenges.
We support aerospace education and STEM through awards, grants, scholarships, professional development opportunities, and programs.
AFA Chapter 507 is currently supporting the following DoDEA after-school programs:
Cyberpatriot (Cybersecurity)
StellarXplorers (Space Design)
IT Certification (Mentorship )
Project Horizon (High Altitude Ballooning)
First Tech Challenge (Robotics)
