Do any of you have any ideas for what to do for an aerospace activity?? I need to teach something this week.

Look in the AE Resources section of Eservices.

Current events alone could kill 30+ minutes a meeting.

Globally the space program is probably more active now then during Apollo.

What is the basis for your inability to teach any of those subjects? I checked out a couple of them, and they seem simple enough.

Classroom style lectures are boring.  Do hands on activities.  The AEX books are a great place to start.

Good luck getting the Aerospace book in a week!

He said he has to do an AE lesson this week. Therefore, the best option is a lecture...

The nice thing about hands on activities is that they don't require lecturing out of a book.

Non-response when you are told you have to do a lesson in a week.

It does not help out at all.

I am the Aerospace Ed Officer for my squadron, so I know about the hands-on vs lecture stuff. But he has no time to get the AEX book.

Even IF he orders it requesting special delivery, he still needs time to select the activity, buy stuff, etc.

The AEX books need to be ordered; they aren't downloads.

Are you talking about books other than the ones labeled AEX in the downloads?

You can see them in the photo above, and they are available in eServices.

That's correct. I just checked, again. I went there last night, and wasn't very successful getting it to work, but today was fine. The big books can be downloaded one chapter at a time, or in one big combined download (zip file). A:TJoF3 is 28.2 MB.

Yes, yes they are. I've done it many times. Even the extra books that come with some of the STEM kits are downloadable.

I am trying to find the page on the internet that lists a bunch of CAP AE publications. I can't find it. It was thumbnails, no significant text.

The one in the other thread?

That's in eservices under Aerospace Downloads.

Learned something new. I stand corrected.

I was looking at the AEM/AEX resources, not the AEO/AEX.

Fester

Not only are the AEX books available for download, but I can think of several other activities that can easily be accomplished in one week.  Balsa airplanes are cheap and available at any Hobby store.
