          STEM, from 7
          (STEM) focus on the engineer-
          ing and design process. Whether
          it is a flight simulation, a home-
          built aircraft or a robotic demon-
          stration, this year’s exhibit is sure
          to engage all ages in a hands-on
          exploration of aviation career ex-
          ploration and excitement.
            Remember, there is an entire
          team that puts the airplane in the
          air!
            At our STEM exhibit, visitors to
          the air show can meet individu-
          als and teams from the following
          organizations:
            • Northrop Grumman                                                                      Photograph by Mark Loper

            The Antelope Valley truly deserves the name “Aerospace Valley.”
              Aviation and space efforts have made history in the AV for more than 70 years. The first supersonic flight, landing of
              a space shuttle, aircraft to circle the world without refueling, and privately built craft to carry a person into space all
              happened in the Antelope Valley.



              The L.A. County Air Show is among our favorite aerospace milestones. It fosters excitement for new aerospace
              accomplishments and inspires our youth to pursue careers in science and technology to make history of their own.


              I'm excited to share that L.A. County is providing $1 million in 2020 to expand job training programs in the AV for
              aerospace manufacturing.


              Thank you to the L.A. County Air Show organizers, the Air Force, NASA, our aerospace companies Lockheed Martin,
              Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and General Atomics, and their employees for their continued partnership and
              dedication to cultivate incredible careers and accomplishments here in the Aerospace Valley.
