Education at AMK – Where Learning Takes Flight
At the Aviation Museum of Kentucky, education is at the heart of our mission. Guided by our commitment “to inspire lifelong learning through immersive experiences, hands-on exploration, and real-world connections,” we offer dynamic programs that ignite curiosity and open doors to future opportunities.
Our educational approach blends history, science, technology, and innovation. From interactive exhibits and curriculum-connected field trips to aviation summer camps and certification programs, we create engaging experiences for learners of all ages.
In partnership with schools, industry leaders, and community organizations, we’re building meaningful pathways into STEM and aviation careers. Whether it’s through our signature Summer Camps, which have welcomed over 10,000 students, hands-on Learning Lab activities like building an airplane or exploring simulators, or field trips that bring classroom concepts to life, we spark imagination and foster real-world skills.
At the Aviation Museum of Kentucky, education isn’t confined to the classroom; it’s an adventure fueled by innovation, curiosity, and the belief that the sky is just the beginning
Aerospace Motivates Kids
Inspiring the Next Generation of Innovators
Expanding our reach, we’ve partnered with NASA KY & Fayette County Public Schools to bring even more aviation exploration to Kentucky students. Through this exciting collaboration, we offered seven one-day aviation camps throughout the 2024 school year. These immersive, NASA-supported programs integrate real-world science and aerospace studies, giving students the chance to engage directly with cutting-edge aviation technology.
By participating, students gained unique insights into the world of aviation, sparking their imagination and encouraging them to dream big while thinking beyond the horizon.
