Help Us Bring Aviation & STEM Education to the Next Generation

Aviation First Steps is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free aviation and STEM education resources to youth and educators across the Pacific Northwest. Our programs reach students through hands-on workshops, a free digital activity library, lending equipment, and community events like the Northwest Aviation Conference Kids’ Zone.

Sponsors make it all possible. Whether you’re an aviation business, STEM-focused organization, flight school, airport authority, or individual who believes in the power of aviation education — your partnership directly funds free resources, workshops, and experiences for young people who may one day become the pilots, engineers, and innovators of tomorrow.
