CAFB: 'Wings' & STEM Expo

COLUMBUS AFB, Miss. - ‎The 14th Flying Training Wing (FTW) will host the “Wings Over Columbus” Air Show and the first large scale Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) Expo on March 26-27. But there will be a student-only day March 25. More than 540 high school and college students have pre-registered to attend the student-only STEM Expo Day. ‎Thirty-plus STEM exhibitors in the fields of aviation, engineering, robotics, forensics, military sciences unmanned vehicles and cyber will be on display throughout the event. The STEM Expo is an unfunded air show activity and currently does not meet the requirements to receive sponsorships, but the event “has been made possible by the goodwill of the tech companies and industry partners surrounding us,” said Tech. Sgt. Javier Cruz, “Wings Over Columbus” STEM Expo coordinator. Some of the exhibitors are coming from as far away as Eglin and Tyndall AFBs in Florida and Little Rock AFB, Ark.
