ACE METAL Foundations

Led by IACMI – The Composites Institute, ACE METAL Foundations is an innovative K–5 STEM education program that introduces elementary students to the exciting worlds of smart manufacturing, engineering, materials science, physics, chemistry, problem-solving, and innovation through engaging hands-on activities and real-world applications. 

Research shows that students begin forming career identities as early as age 10. ACE METAL Foundations helps young learners discover pathways they may never have considered.

Every nine weeks, participating schools receive:

• All required materials
• Instructional video
• Teacher guides
• Real-world STEM and manufacturing connections
• Easy classroom implementation

No manufacturing experience is required, and there is no cost to teachers or schools.
