The Bastion Mission

Bastion is guided by the principle that technical prowess enables tactical advantage and investing in STEM education is investing in the future of our nation’s security.

At the forefront of revolutionizing education to meet the dynamic demands of the U.S. Aerospace, Defense, and Government (ADG) Industry, our mission is to cultivate a diverse, world-class future workforce, ensuring America’s continued technological superiority in air and space.

AI Flight Instructor in a “Carry-On”

Bastion’s Nexus AI Aerospace Training Devices (ATD) integrate an AI Flight Instructor, Airplane & Drone Simulators, and an Aerospace Design Lab into a single, carry-on-sized hard case. Store and transport with ease, then simply plug in, turn on, and take off!

On-Demand Flight Training: Anytime, Anywhere!

Portability, affordability, and built-in AI flight instruction lower the barriers of cost, schedule, logistics, and teacher experience; enable low-income communities to seamlessly integrate inspiration into Secondary and Higher Education classrooms; and broadly increase exposure to STEM careers in Aerospace.

Hands-On Career Pathways

Accessible, research-informed, scalable pathway programs aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) to ensure America has the future Aerospace workforce it needs.

Designed through community partnership between public and private sectors to establish career awareness and foundational skills in Aviation, Drone Technology & Operation, and Aerospace Engineering.

Bastion programs are modular, scalable, and flexible to blend with existing courses; offer as after-school programs, summer camps, or short-duration “spark” events; or implement as full or half-year standalone courses.
