Emerging technology combined with entrepreneurial initiative has positioned our nation to continue to be a global economic leader. Training the youth of today will build the workforce needed to reach the goals of tomorrow.
Flying Over Time (FOT) with Infinity Aero Club has introduced tens of thousands of kids and young adults to potential career opportunities through aviation-related Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programs, as well as in-depth training programs to learn essential drone and career skills. These programs pave the way for young people to develop an interest in aviation, drone technology, Ai & VR literacy, and business entrepreneurship.
We have the opportunity to bring these STEM programs and training workshops to our nonprofit partners worldwide. This proposal will cover introductory Drone Technology Workshops, including Introduction to Drone Technology and Drone Remote Pilot Operator Certification.
The 50/50/500 Aviation Challenge
Rapid growth often results in populations that lack critical skills and have high unemployment rates in key industries. To achieve economic diversification, programs that develop both technical and entrepreneurial skills will give the nation’s youth more opportunities for economic growth in areas that will better serve the country. Our focus is to partner to reach the goal of 50,000 commercial pilots, 50,000 drone operators, and 500,000 STEM leaders across many industries.
About Flying Over Time
We connect the history of aviation to the future of flight through advanced learning technologies for workforce development. For many underserved community youth, lucrative careers in aviation or engineering seem far beyond their reach. Since 2020, FOT & Infinity Aero Club has exposed over 150,000 kids around the United States to flying, aircraft maintenance, manufacturing, drone technology, and business entrepreneurship. We believe in teaching art and science through the lens of history and that “It’s ALWAYS About The Kids”. We encourage our partners and experienced club members to also get involved, serving as mentors who encourage and guide the upcoming youth leaders of tomorrow.
