The educational tour programs at Arnold Engineering Development Complex are designed to SPARK the interest of students, and keep student's MINDS IN MOTION.
The programs' mission is to increase the level of outreach to educators and students and help motivate today's students to become tomorrow's engineers and scientists.
Students will learn about the work AEDC does and its importance to America's air and space superiority. Students also have the opportunity to interact with members of the Air Force and other complex employees and ask specific questions about flight, educational requirements and military life. The tours also provide the opportunity to participate in hands-on demonstrations and tour different testing facilities on base.
For more information or to schedule a tour date, please contact the ATA Public Affairs office at (931) 454-5655.
