The ACE Academy (Aviation Career Exploration) is a popular event coordinated by the Idaho Division of Aeronautics. The academy is 3 full days where students get to explore and learn the various industries and careers available in Idaho involving aviation.  This event is limited to students in Idaho and in grades 9-12.

ACE Academy engages participants through STEM-related experiential activities and field trips to facilities, such as air traffic control towers, flight schools and aerospace businesses, college aviation programs, military aviation bases, seminars and possibly a flight in a small airplane.  The agenda is still a work in progress, but rest assured there will be 3-days filled with activity.
