In partnership with the National Aviation Hall of Fame and Women in Aviation's Huffman Prairie chapter are pleased to host a Girls in Aviation Day that will sure to impress! Designed for girls ages 8-17, Girls in Aviation Day is a FREE event to interest girls and young women to get into aviation. Not everyone has to be a pilot - there are careers through engineering, mechanics/maintenance, logistics, human resources, accounting, air traffic control, dispatchers, hospitality, drones, marketing, management, and so many more!

Girls in Aviation Day’s mission is to educate and empower youth to pursue career journeys in aviation and aerospace. Hands-on activities and STEM connections foster inquisitive minds. Exposure to static aircraft displays promotes tangibility to ambitions. Female role models encourage and inspire youth to explore unique careers and design dreams. GIAD events exhibit new experiences within industries that youth may not have exposure to. Celebrate, empower, and inspire the future of aviation through the 10th Anniversary of Girls in Aviation Day.

For most of us, we had no idea that we could be in aviation. The goal of this event, and others like it, is to create awareness of the many careers in aviation and support the interest of those who already have a passion for the sky!
