Flight simulators in the classroom
'Edustation' units ideal for small spaces
A PORTABLE, TURNKEY flight simulator
specifically designed for classroom use
is showing students at schools in Connecticut and New York how much fun
flying can be. Its creator, Jay Leboff, says
a new curriculum designed to work with
the simulator will help teachers combine
science and math with simulation so that
students will learn to solve complex problems using multiple disciplines.
Leboff, owner of Hot Seat Chassis Inc.,
said he got the idea for the Edustation
after selling a dual-screen flight simulator
to a school in New Canaan, Connecticut. "It occurred to me while I was in
the school that classroom space is at a
premium," he said. "They were putting all
the flight gear on an AV cart and wheeling
it around. I said, 'This is crazy, I'll be back
on Monday.'" He designed and built the
first Edustation that weekend.
The units are ideal for middle- and
high-school aviation clubs, but Leboff
is going further with the idea that they
can help teachers to effectively integrate
science, technology, math, and engineering in ways that students find engaging
and entertaining. Leboff and associates
Vivian Birdsall and Henry Rey created a
22-lesson curriculum designed to apply
math and science taught in the classroom.
Flying Makes STEM Fun consists of onehour classroom lessons coupled with a
one-hour lab that encourage students to
work together in teams.
The curriculum gots its official launch
at a summer STEM program for New
York City high school students offered by

the Cooper Union for the Advancement of
Science and Art. Leboff videotaped each
session and lab and is editing it to create a
teaching tutorial for teachers who are not
pilots. "We'll conduct a study to screen
kids before the program, observe them
through the program, screen them on the
way out, with the objective to validate the
efficacy of teaching aviation math and science and using aviation as a tool," he said.
The Edustation is priced at $3,995,
which includes the 32-inch monitor and
plug-and-play computer that runs Microsoft Flight Simulator X; yoke, rudder, and
throttle controls; and a 2.1 sound system
that can be used with headsets. Each unit
comes with a basic introduction to flying
that helps teachers train the students to
operate the unit. The STEM Lab curriculum will be licensed and sold separately.
