Zusammenfassung:Magnus talks about the challenges in aerospace workforce development. At the K-12 level, the AIAA Foundation supports educators through their AIAA Foundation Classroom Grants Program, which awards teachers up to $250 to promote aerospace through classroom-based STEM activities. Likewise, the Foundation's Generation STEM program, held in conjunction with annual forums, engages middle school students in exciting educational activities facilitated by industry professionals. At the collegiate level, the AIAA Foundation offers over $50,000 annually in undergraduate and graduate scholarships to defray the costs of pursuing aerospace engineering degrees.
