Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) STEM Toolkit

The Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) STEM Toolkit provides educators and students with cross-curricular content related to NASA’s work with air taxis and drones. NASA is delivering data to guide the industry’s development of electric air taxis and drones and to assist the Federal Aviation Administration in safely integrating these vehicles into the national airspace. Students can engage with the principles of AAM in a variety of ways – including hands-on STEM activities that include coding, math, energy and the environment, and more.
