Stafford Air & Space Center coordinates efforts with SWOSU, Western Plains Library Systems, Weatherford Public Schools and Western Technology Center to bring students and teachers the best of air, space, science, and technology education.

Field Trip Planning:
Stafford Air & Space Center offers you a truly unique educational experience. Our goal is to challenge you and your students with flexible, affordable and most of all--FUN! Teachers, bus drivers, and students are always free of charge.
The Stafford Air & Space Center is recognized as one of the nation’s premier space museums, and we offer teachers and students resources that are consistent with national science and math standards. We realize that field trips mean increased work load for all associated with the visiting school, and we pledge to offer a full-service experience that allows you to make one simple phone call to let us know when you're coming, then leave all the work to us once you walk in the door. The Stafford Air & Space Center is a world-class space adventure!


Workshops:
The Stafford Air & Space Center holds periodic workshops featuring internationally know authors, astronauts, and NASA educators for teachers and students.

The next workshop date is set for May 9. It will feature NASA outreach educators teaching about spacefood, spacesuits, and toys in space.

There are regularly held classes in our two classrooms, “Air Flight Ground School” and “Reaching for the Stars: Space Science 1” are both continued education coursed offered through SWOSU.
