Inspiring the next generation through flight.

Designed for elementary school students, primarily grades 2–5, Litespeed Airshow turns a school gym into an unforgettable place for aviation, STEM, and character lessons.

A live airshow with a lasting purpose.

For more than a century, airplanes have captured the imagination of children and adults alike. From the Wright Brothers to today’s aircraft and spaceflight, aviation makes big ideas feel possible.

Litespeed Airshow uses that natural sense of wonder to help elementary students—primarily children in grades 2–5—see science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in motion. The program then connects those lessons to perseverance, respect, and believing in a purpose.

Where aviation meets education.

The program combines the energy of a live performance with lessons students can see, understand, and remember.

Live R/C flight

Acrobatic airplanes, racing jets, and drones demonstrate control, balance, and aerodynamics inside the gym.

STEM made tangible

Students connect classroom concepts to real aircraft moving directly in front of them.

Character in action

Stories of imagination and perseverance encourage students to work hard and make healthy choices.

Our tool: radio-controlled aircraft.

Today’s R/C airplane is both a technological marvel and a miniature version of its full-scale counterpart. It gives students a clear, exciting way to understand how design choices, radio signals, flight controls, and aerodynamic forces work together.

01

Real aircraft principles, demonstrated at student scale.

02

Complex technology explained in language children understand.

03

A fast-moving experience designed primarily for students in grades 2–5.

STEM is not a sidebar. It is the airshow.

Aviation naturally brings all four academic disciplines together in one memorable demonstration.

S

Science

Lift, thrust, drag, and the forces that keep an aircraft in the air.

T

Technology

Transmitters, receivers, batteries, and systems working in real time.

E

Engineering

Strength, weight, balance, and design choices that affect performance.

M

Mathematics

Measurement, angles, speed, proportion, and precision in every flight.

The Wright Brothers’ lesson still flies.

The history of flight comes to life through the story of two brothers who turned a childhood dream into a flying machine. Their success was built on imagination, careful study, hard work, and the willingness to keep trying.

Those same ideas reinforce the character lessons woven throughout every Litespeed assembly.

Perseverance when the first attempt does not work

Respect for parents, teachers, neighbors, and classmates

Healthy choices and confidence in a positive purpose

Free to schools by design.

School budgets should not determine whether students get access to memorable STEM experiences. Private donors, sponsors, and community partners make it possible to provide qualifying school assemblies free of charge.

Every partnership helps more children see what is possible for their education, their community, and their future.

900

Elementary schools in the program’s long-term reach goal.

600,000

Students envisioned across Oklahoma through community support.

$0

Cost to qualifying schools when an assembly is donor-supported.
