Girls in Aviation Day Event
September 21-22 at the American Heritage Museum in Hudson, MA
Every year, Women in Aviation chapters around the world host a STEM event called Girls in Aviation Day. A recent study shows that females make up only 16% of the aviation community, a statistic that remains unchanged from the 1960's! Girls in Aviation Day is designed to inspire girls ages 8-18 to pursue a career in aviation or aerospace. Our local event is taking place in conjunction with the American Heritage Museum in Hudson, MA. It will be free for youth ages 8-18 with advance registration and lunch is being provided by Stevie's Catering for participants.
The event will have hands-on activities, static display of aircraft, and guest speakers. We are also hosting a career panel highlighting unique career opportunities including an air traffic controller, aircraft engineer, helicopter pilot, and C5 Galaxy loadmaster. You can find out more about the event on our website at www.wai-bos.com/girlsinaviationday. This event is an excellent opportunity for kids to learn about exciting opportunities in the aviation community.
