Be a Part of Our Outdoor STEM Laboratory! As with any growing effort, costs associated to execute this one-of-a-kind educational opportunity have also increased. We are looking for strategic partners to help us offset these costs and allow us to continue to provide the community’s students the hands-on opportunity to experience what a STEM career could look like for them. As a strategic STEM partner, your sponsorship will afford you a number of benefits that will make this endeavor worthwhile. Sponsorship Packages
The NAS Oceana Air Show has forged a ground-breaking partnership with area schools and local educational entities to create a one-of-a-kind Outdoor Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics “STEM” Laboratory on an unprecedented scale. A dedicated partnership between NAS Oceana, Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS), and Chesapeake Public Schools (CPS) has brought approximately 6,300 fifth graders annually from 64 elementary schools to engage with the STEM Lab on Friday prior to Air Show weekend. More than 30,500 students have experienced STEM engagement since 2016. The outdoor STEM Lab provides immersive STEM experiences with developmentally- appropriate, hands-on activities that engage and inspire students for possible careers in STEM. With small group engagements preferred, both school divisions commit to a 5:1 student/ chaperone ratio to enable full participation in the activities and challenges offered by STEM professionals and volunteer organizations. The STEM Lab remains in place on Saturday and Sunday, making STEM education and engagement available to the hundreds of thousands of families, children and community members that attend the Air Show.

Seventy-five percent of attending students have no military affiliation even though their daily lives may experience the sound of jet noise over their schools or homes. By inviting school children onto NAS Oceana, students are offered a glimpse of the Navy behind the fence line and the incredible opportunities that exist within – providing students with exposure to new possibilities. Significant partnerships, across multiple STEM disciplines, support this event to include post-secondary institutions, state organizations, and military commands, as well as local and national industry leaders. Data from 2023 indicates that more than 202 Department of the Navy personnel (uniformed and civilian), 98 informal educators, and 200 high school students provided approximately 2,024 engagement hours across 182 hands- on STEM opportunities. In 2024, we look forward to expanding these opportunities to students from additional local municipalities.
