The Australian Youth Aerospace Association (AYAA) is a not-for-profit organisation run by and for students and young professionals. Together we strive to promote education, awareness and involvement in the Australian aerospace industry and greater STEM community. The AYAA engages with people across Australia, launching connections between industry and the growing youth STEM community. Igniting the passion of the Australian youth STEM community is done through National scale programs including the Astra Program, the Australian Universities Rocket Competition (AURC), and the Australian Youth Aerospace Forum (AYAF). These events are complemented through the frequent running of local state events.
