Barrington Irving wants to take students to a higher plane literally. Irving is the founder of Experience Aviation a learning center and program with the goal of encouraging students to pursue careers in aviation. Irving broke records as the first Black and youngest pilot to ever fly solo around the world. If that is adventurous enough, a year later Irving did a solo flight on a plane designed completely by Miami high school students. He is currently is travelling and promoting careers in flight as well as conducting the S.T.E.M. summer program, which accompanies math, science and engineering lessons with aviation.
