1
00:00:00,370 --> 00:00:03,400
- Today is, what, Day 3, of our ACE Camp.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,470
This is our 14th year of doing it,

3
00:00:05,470 --> 00:00:08,040
and it's FAA partnering with Metro Tech,

4
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:10,980
and partnering with Tinker Air Force Base.

5
00:00:10,980 --> 00:00:13,040
And we bring out 26 kids,

6
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:14,890
teach them different things about STEM.

7
00:00:14,890 --> 00:00:17,280
We expose them to hundreds of careers

8
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,610
in aviation throughout the week,

9
00:00:19,610 --> 00:00:21,790
give them some hands-on
experience of what that is,

10
00:00:21,790 --> 00:00:25,450
what that means, so they can
really think about careers

11
00:00:25,450 --> 00:00:27,330
that they never even knew existed.

12
00:00:27,330 --> 00:00:30,160
- Today, this, their only day on base,

13
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,380
but they got to see the
KC-135, walk through it

14
00:00:33,380 --> 00:00:34,900
and learn about its mission.

15
00:00:34,900 --> 00:00:38,290
Then now, right now, they're
looking at the T-6 Texan ii,

16
00:00:38,290 --> 00:00:40,960
which is the primary trainer
for Air Force Pilot Training.

17
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,630
- You know, it takes a lot of volunteers,

18
00:00:42,630 --> 00:00:45,210
it takes a lot of sponsors
and people working together

19
00:00:45,210 --> 00:00:48,010
for the benefit of the child,
it's all about the child,

20
00:00:48,010 --> 00:00:49,880
to make these programs work.

21
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,598
We're really fortunate to have people

22
00:00:51,598 --> 00:00:54,290
that want to move STEM
forward in Oklahoma.

23
00:00:54,290 --> 00:00:55,932
It's up to us to be ambassadors,

24
00:00:55,932 --> 00:00:58,653
to help our children go in that direction.
