Aeronautics & Engineering Expo

Thank you for making the 2024 A&E Expo a huge success! We look forward to seeing you again!

This family friendly event has been a fixture in the Stow/Kent community for more than two decades and we are thrilled to bring this event back and showcase our Airport and FedEx Aeronautics Academic Center to the entire community.  The Expo provides a unique opportunity to explore the Kent State Airport and offers one-of-a-kind activities for both the young - and young at heart.
