The Delaware
Aerospace Association
Supported by the
NASA Delaware Space Grant Consortium
As the Aerospace & STEM industry continues to grow, a lack of activities exists for students in Delaware, a problem which both the DAA and DESGC have realized.
Starting in 2021 with the help of Dr. Higgin as a mission to spread Aerospace and its fundamental concepts throughout Delaware in conjunction with our schools, the Delaware Aerospace Association is aiding students around Delaware's inequitable access to science.
We specialize in providing research opportunities at the University of Delaware, providing chapter curricula, holding speaker series, and community research projects.
