Since then, we have created an elementary school STEM curriculum that has reached over 6,000 classrooms, produced a video series featuring the stories of aerospace professionals, and built an immersive, multipurpose theater. The latest jewel in our crown is the Joe Clark Innovation Lab, a $1.2 million, 1,600-square-foot hub for students, visitors, and aviation enthusiasts to delve into the world of aerospace.
The energy surrounding the Lab’s opening has been electric—students, parents, teachers, community members, and media (link) have been eager to explore the learning and brainstorming spaces, as well as interact with aviation materials and technology tools. We’re excited for the students and educators who will participate in our science programs and camps, and for everyone who will use the space for special events, meetings, birthday parties, and other small gatherings.
But the Lab is more than just a facility. It’s a tribute to the innovative spirit of NAHF Enshrinee Joe Clark, who invented a wingtip device that enhances aircraft performance, saving billions of gallons of fuel and reducing aviation’s carbon footprint. Clark set a new standard for what’s possible in aerospace, and we believe that every student who enters the Lab will be inspired to do the same.
Free science and aviation demonstrations for the public on the third Saturday of the month
Week-long aviation-and space-themed camps for ages 6 to 17
Students learn about the forces of flight through a study of kites and how they fly.
Students learn about aerodynamics by building, testing, and refining paper aircraft.
Students learn about aerodynamics and propulsion by building and launching straw rockets—and then building a rocket retrieval mechanism.
Go Hands on!Lab visitors can see and touch aviation equipment, like throttle quadrants, which control aircraft engine power, and a tachometer, which measures engine speed. |
