Information for CAP AE Officers:
NEON: Website NASA Educators Online Network, is a free resource for teachers, Civil Air Patrol Aerospace Education Officers, CAP AEM's, and others interested in Aerospace Education. This site links educators together to share resources, information, and experiences. It is somewhat like "Facebook" but the emphasis is on Aerospace Education. Simply go to http://NEON.psu.edu
to setup your account and then log in and start your discovery. There is a group for Civil Air Patrol Aerospace Education, so be sure to join this group and start sharing your AE experience for fellow CAP AEO's and AEM's.
CAP Aerospace Education Member (AEM) contact information –
CAP Region and Wing Commanders, DCS/AEs and DAEs in each region and wing now have accessibility to the names and contact information of Aerospace Education Members in their wings and regions. We would like you to know who these outstanding people are so you can invite them to AE workshops, Fly-a-Teacher events, and any other relevant program that would apply to Aerospace Educators for your area. This information can be found in e-services under Member Reports and Aerospace Education links and requires permissions received from your commander.https://www.capnhq.gov/CAP.eServices.Web/Default.aspx
Information for CAP Directors of Aerospace Education (DAE) pertaining to the
Yeager Test: CAP members can now receive immediate feedback when they take the Yeager Test online. After successfully passing the test online, the member will automatically have his/her accomplishment posted to his/her records and the Yeager Certificate will be available for download as a pdf. DAEs can track which wing members have taken and passed the online test by logging in at https://ntc.cap.af.mil/login.htm and going to "Test Reports" in the left column of the menu. This link is restricted to those assigned to CAP region or wing HQ. If the DAE is not assigned to the wing HQ, please contact ae@capnhq.gov for specific permissions. (NOTE: A Form 127 and CAPC 20 are only needed if the exam is taken with pencil/paper.) This process should streamline the CAP Yeager test process and make the reporting easier for all concerned.CAP Aerospace Education materials can now be ordered online!
