eVTOL Insights to use questions from K‑12 students at its North America Conference, as part of new education initiative with AMCi | noun

eVTOL Insights has announced a new edu­ca­tion ini­tia­tive with AMCi | noun™ today (Thurs­day), which will give K‑12 stu­dents at schools across the Unit­ed States a rare oppor­tu­ni­ty to sub­mit ques­tions for pan­elists to answer at its North Amer­i­ca Con­fer­ence lat­er this month.

AMCi | noun™ is an edu­ca­tion­al media com­pa­ny which helps young peo­ple con­nect with the world through sto­ry­telling, inquiry and real-world expe­ri­ences that make the future feel vis­i­ble, rel­e­vant and with­in reach.

This ini­tia­tive is designed to ensure con­ver­sa­tions gen­er­at­ed at this event and future ones belong to today’s experts and inno­va­tors, as well as the young peo­ple who will inher­it, shape and one day lead this emerg­ing ecosys­tem.

Ques­tions from K‑12 stu­dents will be inte­grat­ed into planned pan­el dis­cus­sions at eVTOL Insights’ North Amer­i­ca Con­fer­ence, tak­ing place at the Nation­al Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty Cen­ter of Excel­lence (NAAMCE) from April 29th to May 1st.

The pan­el ses­sions focus on a host of dif­fer­ent top­ics, includ­ing flight test­ing, air­space inte­gra­tion, indus­try readi­ness and cre­at­ing a future work­force. The result is a new kind of indus­try dia­logue which invites lead­ers to explain what is being built, why it mat­ters, who it serves and how it can inspire the next gen­er­a­tion.

Stu­dent ques­tions will aim to chal­lenge speak­ers to com­mu­ni­cate in ways the pub­lic can under­stand and trust, con­nect today’s break­throughs to tomorrow’s work­force, demon­strate val­ue beyond the tech­nol­o­gy itself, sur­face the ques­tions com­mu­ni­ties will ulti­mate­ly ask, and rein­force that Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty is not sim­ply about prod­ucts, but about build­ing an ecosys­tem.

Each ques­tion sub­mit­ted by a stu­dent will be dis­played to del­e­gates in audi­ence, and then record­ed in order to build a doc­u­ment of answers which can then be shared with the schools for fur­ther engage­ment.

Jason Pritchard, Exec­u­tive Edi­tor at eVTOL Insights, said: “We’re incred­i­bly excit­ed to give stu­dents a plat­form to have their voic­es heard at our events, which bring togeth­er some of the bright­est minds from across the Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty sec­tor. We hope this ini­tia­tive will help inspire young peo­ple and con­nect them direct­ly with the real-world devel­op­ments trans­form­ing avi­a­tion.

“STEM edu­ca­tion is fun­da­men­tal to the future of Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty, as the next gen­er­a­tion of engi­neers, inno­va­tors and lead­ers will play a crit­i­cal role in shap­ing this rapid­ly evolv­ing indus­try. We’re proud to sup­port such an impor­tant top­ic at a time when the mar­ket is expe­ri­enc­ing sig­nif­i­cant and sus­tained growth.”

Also join­ing eVTOL Insights and AMCi | noun™ in this STEAM edu­ca­tion coali­tion are DART (Drone, Avi­a­tion and Robot­ics Tech­nol­o­gy) in Mon­terey Bay, Cal­i­for­nia and the Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty Insti­tute.

Togeth­er, each organ­i­sa­tion reflects a shared vision for the indus­try, where lead­er­ship is mea­sured by what com­pa­nies build and how they invite oth­ers into the future they are cre­at­ing.

The coali­tion also shares the belief that indus­try should inspire young peo­ple to see them­selves as future engi­neers, pilots, design­ers, com­mu­ni­ca­tors, pol­i­cy­mak­ers and prob­lem-solvers.

Addi­tion­al­ly, this STEAM coali­tion is designed to widen the cir­cle of par­tic­i­pa­tion, deep­en the mean­ing of the con­ver­sa­tion and help ensure that the future of flight is one the next gen­er­a­tion can see, under­stand, ques­tion and help shape.

Dave Sick­ert, chief envi­sion­ary offi­cer at AMCi | noun™., added: “At AMCi | noun™, we believe stu­dents should have a place in the con­ver­sa­tions shap­ing the world they are grow­ing up in. When stu­dents ask ques­tions, they often reframe the dis­cus­sion and remind us that inno­va­tion is not only about what is pos­si­ble, but also about what is mean­ing­ful.”
