The National Conference on Aviation and Space Education (NCASE) is the premier aerospace education conference of its kind in the nation. It is also one of Civil Air Patrol's major contributions to America's aerospace education classrooms. Presented annually since 1968, NCASE brings together educators from around the nation to learn from a variety of gifted speakers and motivational teachers.
Aerospace-oriented hands-on activities for all grade levels are offered in a variety of break-out sessions. Educators share new experiences and discover learning tools that will capture the imagination of their students. Teachers learn how the wonders of aviation and space make ordinary subjects come alive in an extraordinary way. NCASE is also a venue for Civil Air Patrol members to network with others, expand knowledge and share techniques to use in classrooms/squadrons across the country. NCASE provides resources and addresses the needs of the homeschooling community as well.
Several awards are presented during the conference including A. Scott Crossfield Aerospace Education Teacher of the Year Award, the National Aeronautic Association's Frank G. Brewer Trophy, National Coalition for Aviation Education Leadership Award, and the National Conference Crown Circle for Aerospace Education Leadership.
