Joe Clark Innovation Lab

Discover a place where curiosity takes flight

The Joe Clark Innovation Lab invites students, families, educators, and aviation enthusiasts to explore the world of aerospace through hands-on learning and creative discovery. As part of the National Aviation Hall of Fame, the Lab connects past innovation with future possibility.

From connecting to classrooms across the country to experiences inside the Lab, our impact continues to grow. Through standards-aligned STEM curriculum, we now reach 6,750 classrooms nationwide, inspiring young learners wherever they are.

Visit the Lab four days a week and experience an active learning environment that hosts over 200 educational programs and events each year—including field trips, summer camps, workshops, and student challenges. Can’t visit in person? Our expanded online aviation STEM activities make exploration possible anytime, anywhere.

Inside the Lab, you won’t just observe, you’ll experiment, collaborate, and imagine. The space also welcomes the community for meetings, celebrations, and special events.

Inspired by NAHF Enshrinee Joe Clark, whose innovative wingtip technology reshaped aviation efficiency and sustainability, the Lab challenges every visitor to ask, What’s next?

Come explore. Create. Innovate….The future of aerospace starts here!
