How DataCorps and SUN 'n FUN Ignite Passion for Technology in Youth
DataCorps has proudly partnered with SUN 'n FUN since 2013, driven by our passion to inspire the next generation of technologists and aviation enthusiasts. By supporting initiatives like the Junior ACEs program, we aim to provide young minds with the tools and experiences they need to explore STEM fields in a hands-on and engaging way. The Junior ACEs program, a highlight of the SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo, creates a unique opportunity for kids to interact with technology through activities like coding robots, building aircraft models, and designing airport layouts using Minecraft. These interactive sessions align perfectly with DataCorps' mission to cultivate technological skills and curiosity from a young age.
Our long-standing commitment reflects our belief that the future of technology depends on nurturing curiosity and creativity. By investing in SUN 'n FUN’s youth programs, we help bridge the gap between fun and education, turning games like Minecraft into powerful learning tools that teach kids about aviation design, problem-solving, and spatial thinking. These experiences not only introduce them to aviation but also provide a pathway to careers in technology, engineering, and coding, areas where DataCorps believes today’s youth can truly excel and innovate.
Through our partnership, DataCorps supports the use of advanced technology in these programs, such as flight simulators and interactive coding platforms. We recognize that providing children with early exposure to such experiences is critical in building a pipeline of skilled technologists who are excited about the future of aviation and aerospace. Our goal is to show them that the skills they learn today, whether through virtual flight or digital construction, can lead to real-world applications and careers in the tech and aviation industries.
Since 2013, this collaboration has allowed DataCorps to directly contribute to building the next wave of innovators. Together with SUN 'n FUN and the Aerospace Center for Excellence, we ensure that children not only have fun but also gain valuable skills that set the foundation for a future in STEM. We’re excited to continue supporting programs that inspire young technologists and aviators, affirming our belief that innovation starts with passion and opportunity at an early age.
