Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is there a registration fee?
A: No. Thanks to the support of our generous sponsors, this event is completely free for girls aged 8–17 (Grades 3–12).
Q: Where do I get tickets?
A: No tickets are required for this year’s event. Doors open at 3:00 PM, and programming begins at 4:00 PM. We recommend arriving early, as space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Q: My daughter isn’t 8 years old or in Grade 3 yet. Can she still participate?
A: Unfortunately, no. We ask that participants be at least 8 years old and in Grade 3. Based on feedback from our organizers and career station leaders, younger children often struggle to engage with the activities and may unintentionally disrupt the experience for others. The good news is this is an annual event, so there will be opportunities to participate in the future.
Q: I want to attend the event with my daughter, but I also have younger children. Can we still come?
A: Yes, families are welcome to attend. However, please note that children under 8 will not be able to participate in the programming from 4:00–6:30 PM. You may spend time with your younger children in the play space, doing arts and crafts or viewing the museum displays. We appreciate your understanding as we aim to create the best experience for the participants.

Q: I've graduated high school but interested in attending. Can I still be involved?

Q: I'm a Girl Guide Leader. Can I attend with my group?

Q: Will there be food and beverages?
A: Yes! During the scheduled break, we’ll provide coffee, tea, juice, water, and a selection of baked goods and snacks. Please note, there is no other food vendor on site. While we do our best to maintain a nut-free environment, if your child has any food allergies or sensitivities, we recommend bringing your own snacks to ensure their safety.
Q: I have a son who loves aviation. Can he register?
A: While boys are welcome to participate, this event is specifically designed to introduce girls to the wide range of career opportunities available in aviation and aerospace. These industries are traditionally male-dominated, and our goal is to connect girls with inspiring female role models to encourage their future success in the field.
