FAAEA has adopted the following goals and objectives for 2008:

• Attract the best and brightest minority students into the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math. These students will serve as a beacon to encourage other students to follow their pathway into the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math;
• Encourage minority elementary, middle and high school students to take higher-level math, science, engineering, and technology courses;
• Inspire minority high school seniors to pursue a career in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics;
• Increase middle and high school minority students’ awareness of appropriate classes, extracurricular activities, and community involvement that would better prepare them for college entrance in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics program;
• Educate FAAEA’s members about Space Florida’s vision, objectives, job opportunities, and programs;
• Engage minority students in various hands-on/interactive workshops to learn about the aerospace industry;
• Educate parents on how to remain involved in and support their child’s education.
• Inform parents about the necessary requirements for college admission as well as assist parents in obtaining financial assistance to fund their child’s college education;
• Collaborate with universities and industry representatives to provide leadership workshops for K-12 educators on emerging technologies and techniques in incorporating science, math, technology, and engineering activities in the classroom;
• Recognize outstanding leadership and performance in math, science, engineering, and technology among K-12 educators, students, and after-school programs.
