Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University has long been a world leader in aviation and aerospace education. As such, the university is committed to the academic disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics — a STEM-based education. The Embry‑Riddle faculty and students have worked with the community to share in this commitment to STEM-centered experiential and project-based learning.
In October 2017, Embry‑Riddle’s Prescott Campus opened the STEM Education Center and the Jim and Linda Lee Planetarium; one of the intentions being to support existing outreach efforts by faculty and students, increase the scope and offerings of such efforts, and ultimately sustain a culture of STEM literacy and enthusiasm in the Quad Cities.
The Embry‑Riddle STEM Education Center fills a vital need for promoting and enhancing STEM education at Embry‑Riddle, for schools, youth organizations, and in the community at large.
