2025 Annual Convention - Chicago IL - 05-09 March, 2025

Designed to engage, grow and recruit the rising generation of STEM talent needed for future Naval Aviation and provides NAWCAD mentors an avenue to broaden community STEM engagement by connecting them with enthusiastic, talented students. Students develop critical thinking skills in applied science and engineering, while learning more about NAWCAD with the potential for future internships and employment. 

 AirTalent High School Innovation Projects will promote Naval STEM through research and application of ten (10) team innovation projects with the help of 10 mentors for the 2022-2023 school year.  These ten groups will work with NAWCAD engineers and scientists to develop, propose, and implement a science or engineering project. 

Students will be provided with a $500 material budget. 

 Join us at the next information session and to brainstorm ideas on Nov 16th at 7:00PM (see Flyer)
