For more than seventeen years, DASEF has contributed to the academic development of over 322,900 students, educators and the general public through the delivery of context-based activities consistent with current aerospace research and development. These multi-disciplinary and cooperative learning programs teach in tangible ways the skills of responsible decision-making, leadership, teamwork, critical and creative thinking and communication and listening skills.

Educators and youth group leaders throughout the state and region are finding that the non-traditional programs and lessons offered serve as innovative and exciting unifying themes for teaching science, technology, math, engineering with exposure to non-traditional careers. Because there are no similar facilities nearby and because of the strong interest in educational issues, DASEF is in an excellent position to bring together leaders from the education and business communities, volunteers, and youth to enhance the science and technology being taught in schools today. This central Delaware location is ideal for students and visitors to reach from anywhere in Delaware and the Mid-Atlantic region.

Additionally, through its partnerships with businesses, non-profit organizations, government agencies and military groups throughout the region, DASEF provides a network through which Delaware's economy and intellectual capital can grow and be invested in future generations. With help from our partners, we strive to create a scientific and technologically literate workforce with members who take pride in the quality of their work and who believe their work can favorably impact society.
