Mass Interaction offers teachers a chance to hook students on math and science through exciting work in aviation. This three-year project offers an aviation science curriculum presented via multiple technologies: live, interactive video broadcasting, written curriculum materials, and Internet activities. This series was developed by Mass Interaction through a cooperative agreement (NCC 2-915) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and its Learning Technologies Project.

Explore the exhilarating world of flight. Get students excited about math and science through an introduction to lift and drag, aircraft design, ballooning, weather, instrumentation, flight simulators and navigation, and introduce them to the possibilities for exciting work in aviation. The aim of the program is to create projects to inform students about aviation and aeronautics both as an academic focus and a career path. Known as Aeronautics and Aviation Science Careers and Opportunities Project, it reaches students nationwide.
