Boeing continues to show why Wichita is the Air Capital of the World.

This week, Boeing announced a $380,000 investment right here in our community supporting STEM education, veterans, and families in need. That includes funding for outstanding local partners like Wichita State, WSU Tech, the Kansas Food Bank, and right here in our district, the Kansas Aviation Museum.

The Kansas Aviation Museum will use this support to expand programs that inspire the next generation of aviation and STEM leaders reaching hundreds of students through hands on learning and field trips.
