Welcome to the Eagle’s Nest Wisconsin High School STEM Aviation Program
Our STEM Aviation Program provides aviation education to Southeast Wisconsin high school students in grades 9–12, with 12 to 18 students participating per year. We have a workshop at Westosha Central High School in Paddock Lake, Wisconsin and a STEM Aviation Center at the Burlington airport. Students gather weekly in this dedicated space for meetings, build sessions, and ground school. The Burlington Municipal Airport (KBUU) serves as home base for all flight operations. The latest Van’s RV-12iS plane built by the Eagle’s Nest High School STEM Aviation students, F3 Tiercel. The program educates students in the principles of aircraft construction, physics of flight, and concepts of metallurgy — and we explore opportunities and careers in the aviation field.
