Air Education and Training Command opened its new innovation center April 30 at Randolph AFB, Tex.

Inspiration for the center came from similar facilities used by leading universities and major corporations. The center features an “electronic laboratory” for service members and civilians to explore better training and educational methods and has state-of-the art computer and gaming equipment, as well as other learning tools and materials.

Stephen Lorenz. (Randolph report by TSgt. Jennifer Lindsey)
