OUR LDR STEM OPPORTUNITIES
The JROTC Leadership & Academic Bowl (JLAB) is a nationally recognized academic competition created exclusively for cadets. One of the main goals of the JROTC Academic Bowl is to prepare students for state exit/graduation exams as well as college entrance exams, such as the SAT and ACT. However, many JROTC instructors are understandably interested in measuring how well their cadets are learning the JROTC curriculum. Therefore, each level of the competition contains a mix of questions from the JROTC curriculum, as well as English, Math, and Science questions. |

In UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) cadets will learn about, operate, race, compete, and perform maintenance on UASs. Drones are offered as an educational and recreational experience. Students experience the world’s fastest-growing technology, creating collaborative learning lessons in engineering, iterative design, and applied science. After learning flying safety regulations, students start with the basics of flight and then move on to autonomous flight skills, programming their drone for autonomous operation. From building drones to programming them, drones are a trailblazing educational tool that prepares students for the future in careers that haven’t even been invented yet. |

Weather Team teaches cadets about different types of weather phenomena and weather safety using real life examples such as hands on science experiments to demonstrate weather phenomena. Cadets will be responsible for reporting weather by building a slide for the Daily Announcements slide deck. |

Planning committees are small groups of cadets that work together to plan, organize, and execute special events such as military balls and hangouts.Planning Committees are typically led by the Protocol Officer. Additionally, a planning committee might assist the instructor(s) in setting up a CIA trip. |

LDR activities (co-curricular activities) are AFJROTC-sponsored teams and/or committees which are subdivided into 3 Tiers.
- Tier I (STEM Based): Any LDR that has a Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) or academia-related base AND has an outside partnership that includes a national-level competition opportunity.
- Tier II (Activity Based): Any LDR that may or may not have a STEM or academia-related base but does have an outside partnership and/or local level or above competition opportunity.
- Tier III (Unit Based): Any LDR that is local level only and primarily benefits the cadet corps, school and/or local community.
