Museum's 50th Anniversary

It seems like only yesterday, but it’s been 50 years since the San Diego Aerospace Museum opened its doors for the first time.

Fly Your Ride! Competition

We're looking for students who want to build a vehicle no larger than a shoebox, slide it down a ramp, and see if it can jump a gap. It's fun, it's creative, and you don't have to be a science fair genius to come up with a winning entry! We'll give you feedback, create opportunities to talk to experts, and give away great prizes!
