Last month, 100 elementary and middle school students from the Coachella Valley attended a STEM education field trip sponsored by Desert Jet at the Discovery Cube OC Science Museum in Orange County.

The students engaged with interactive science exhibits focused on space and aviation. They designed and flew paper airplanes and rockets and experienced the Simulated Launch System (SLS) and Minotaur IV rocket. They also participated in the physics lab, sea lab, and Dino Quest, which features interactive excavation and animatronic dinosaurs.

Desert Jet is proud to sponsor the 3rd annual STEM education field trip for local students. Some will continue their aviation interests through the Desert Mirage High School Aviation Program.

We thank the Discovery Cube Orange County, the Coachella Valley Unified School District, and Career Technical Education for their continued partnership. Together, we aim to inspire and educate the next generation.
