PEACHTREE CITY, USA – Aventure is supporting the ASPIRE Aviation Summer Camp, where middle and high school students spent a week immersed in hands-on aerospace learning at Georgia’s DeKalb Peachtree Airport.
The camp is a program of ASPIRE Aerospace Education, a Georgia nonprofit organization dedicated to helping students explore the world of aviation beyond piloting. Their mission is to broaden perspectives and inspire future aviation careers.
Aventure donated a Boeing 737 throttle quadrant to help bring technical concepts to life. It provided students the chance to operate authentic flight controls and explore how engine power, flaps, and trim interact in commercial aircraft.
“We are committed to help inspire the next generation of aviation professionals,” said Aventure marketing associate Michael Griffiths Jr.
Throughout the week, campers engaged with real-world aerospace topics, from turbine engines and weather systems to flight planning and aircraft maintenance.
“The opportunity for students to work directly with real aircraft components adds a valuable hands-on element to their learning,” said Latessa Meader, president of ASPIRE Aerospace Education.
“Industry partnerships like these help connect classroom lessons with the practical skills needed in aviation careers,” she added.
The second session of ASPIRE Aviation Camp will take place July 14–18. For more information, visit aspireaeroed.org.
