Curiosity is the first flying machine
When children see how a wing creates lift, the sky changes from a distant view into a possibility.

Curiosity is the first flying machine
Family events and demonstrations bring young people close to aircraft, technology and the people behind them. Questions are welcome because they are where an interest in engineering, science and flying begins.
Everything takes place in a controlled setting with clear rules. The aim is not only an impressive moment, but lasting respect for preparation, teamwork and safety.
NEXT / STEM / FAI
A safe starting point for children, parents and teachers: age-appropriate activities, a simple lift experiment, an aviation quiz, careers and verified learning resources.
Choose a starting point
The age bands are a guide, not a test. Pick the activities that match the child’s interest, experience and ability to work safely with an adult.
Short, visual activities build vocabulary and connect movement in the air with things a child can see and touch.
Focus: wonder, observation and safe behaviourMini flight laboratory
Move the sliders and observe how the index changes. In this simplified model lift grows with wing area and with the square of speed.
Quick check
Choose one answer for each question. The explanation appears immediately, so every attempt teaches something.
Aviation is a team
Plans, decides and operates the aircraft within procedures and limits.
Designs, analyses and improves aircraft structures and systems.
Inspects, maintains and records the technical condition of aircraft.
Studies the atmosphere and turns observations into useful weather information.
Keeps a safe, orderly flow of aircraft through controlled airspace.
Connects route, performance, crew, weather and documentation into a workable plan.

NEXTWings, controls and balance are easier to understand when a child can see the model and speak with its pilot.
Aviation opens conversations about engineers, technicians, meteorologists, controllers and many other roles.
Demonstrations use clear distances, supervision and instructions for everyone taking part.
