Programs & Activities

More than a club — a full flight plan

From weekly simulator sessions and mentorship to immersive events and school partnerships — here's everything Nextgen does to turn young curiosity into real aviation skill.

What We Do

The core member experience

Every Nextgen membership is built on four hands-on pillars — the weekly rhythm that turns aviation dreams into real skill.

Simulator & Ground School

Flight simulator sessions paired with ground instruction that prepares students for the KCAA Private Pilot Knowledge Test.

Mentorship From the Pros

Guidance from professional captains, pilots, and aircraft engineers — including author Capt. Peter Maranga.

Practical Airside Exposure

Monthly airside visits, Young Eagle flights, radio-control models, and field trips to real aviation venues.

Holiday Aviation Camps

Immersive flying camps during school holidays — simulator time, ground school, mentorship, and airside fun.

Events & Programs

Where aviation comes to life

Our flagship experiences give young aviators hands-on exposure to flying, engineering, and the science behind flight.

Aviation Mentorship Weekends

Immersive two-day retreats where young aviators shadow professional pilots, learn the basics of navigation, and take the controls of our flight simulators.

  • Shadow professional pilots & engineers
  • Intro to navigation & flight planning
  • Hands-on flight simulator time

Aerospace & STEM Expos

Interactive fairs that bring aviation and space to life — model rocket launches, aerodynamics experiments, and space-tech demos, in partnership with schools and universities.

  • Model rocket launches
  • Aerodynamics experiments
  • Space-tech demos with partners

Innovation Hackathons & Youth Challenges

Hands-on challenges where curious minds tackle real aviation problems — from flight-planning puzzles to model-aircraft design — with mentorship and recognition for standout ideas.

  • Real-world aviation problems
  • Team-based creative challenges
  • Mentorship & recognition for winners
Consultancy & Advisory

Helping others build the pathway

Beyond our own members, we help schools and partners create lasting aviation opportunities of their own.

Aviation & STEM Clubs

We help schools launch and run their own aviation/STEM clubs — with curriculum guides, mentor recruitment, and funding strategies.

Advisory & Mentorship

Guidance on aviation safety, youth programs, and aerospace integration for schools, clubs, and youth organisations.

Partnerships & Internships

Building bridges between young aviators and the industry through school, corporate, and institutional partnerships.

Gear & Brand Identity

Learning that continues at home

Aviation-themed kits and branded materials that keep the spark alive between sessions — included with membership, not sold as a storefront.

Learning Kits & Books

Aircraft booklets, model planes, and books written by Capt. Peter Maranga to keep exploring at home.

Aviator Apparel

Branded aviator uniforms, hoodies, and T-shirts that make every young aviator feel the part.

Simulator & Learning Tools

Flight-simulator practice and digital learning tools that build real, transferable skills.
