Girls in Aviation Day is designed to inspire girls (and boys) ages 10 to 17 to consider careers in the aviation industry. Aviation professions for women and men include pilots, aviation mechanics, air traffic controllers, flight attendants, aircraft brokers, ground crew members, and a wide range of business, financial, and technical roles, and responsibilities.

Girls in Aviation Day at LSFM combines history, science, and technology to spark each girl’s curiosity through an aviation-inspired curriculum. This year, attendees can participate in activities ranging from aircraft tours and flight simulator experiences to hands-on mechanics and drone “STEMonstrations.” Meteorology workshops and an amazing career fair will also be offered.
Activities include breakfast, official welcome, programs and activities and a special lunch and panel discussion with women aviation and aerospace professionals.
