ITD aviation academy enrollment underway
BOISE – It’s not too late for high school students, ages
14-18, to learn about aviation and space-related careers at the annual Aviation
Career Exploration (ACE) Academy June 13-15 in Boise.
The deadline for enrollment is extended to May 27 for the
program, which is sponsored by the Idaho Transportation Department’s Division
of Aeronautics.
Students will go on field trips to places like the Boise
Airport Terminal, a flight school, a military aviation facility and an air
traffic control tower. Other activities include seminars on aviation careers
and colleges, and participating in an aircraft flight and a hands-on satellite
balloon project.
A $60 registration fee is due upon
a student's acceptance to the academy. Scholarship assistance is available. A
limited number of host families also are available for students attending from
outside the Treasure Valley.
