Girls in Aviation Day’s mission is to educate and empower youth to pursue career journeys in aviation and aerospace. Join us for a fun-filled day at the TWA Museum in downtown Kansas City, where children between the ages of 8 -16 can explore the exciting world of aviation. This in-person event will feature hands-on activities, interactive displays, and even tours of the Air Traffic Control tower! Created to help foster the love in aviation in young students, Girls in Aviation Day is the perfect event to explore the many possibilites that aviation and STEM have to offer. Celebrate, empower, and inspire the future of aviation through the 10th Anniversary of Girls in Aviation Day. Additional Notes: TICKETS ARE LIMITED This event will take place on an active airport.
