Enrollment is now open; Aviation for Girls App to Launch on September 26 

​
We live in a different world today and the safety of our attendees, volunteers and Northern Spirit chapter members is paramount. This year's Women in Aviation International’s 6th Annual Girls in Aviation Day (GIAD) will be a virtual event available to all. GIAD20 wjil deliver a free, year-round experience for girls ages 8-17 around the world through the launch of a new Aviation for Girls (AFG) App, sponsored by the U.S. Air Force.
 
Available to all interested in aviation/aerospace and STEM, the AFG App is the tool WAI will provide to deliver valuable content and resources including career videos, virtual museum tours, scholarship information, hands-on activities, book readings in multiple languages, as well as digital issues of Aviation for Girls magazine. And despite the name, girls and boys are both welcome to participate.
 
The Aviation for Girls App is available now to download, but the content will be launched on our official Girls in Aviation Day – September 26, 2020. Visit the App Store or Google Play and search for WAI Events. For other devices, including Blackberry and Windows, point your mobile browser to: https://bit.ly/AviationforGirlsApp

You probably don't even realize that there's a whole team of people working together to make sure the airport is safe for your airplane to take off and land - find out how this team keeps our airport safe.

Aerospace Engineering

Have you ever heard of Bernoulli's Theorem? This is the scientific principle that explains how a 100 ton airplane can fly in the sky. Aeronautical engineers use principles like this in their work every day.

Girl Guides WAI Aviation Girl Fun Patch!

Women in Aviation International has created a Girl Guide fun patch to award to Girl Guides who take part in Girls in Aviation Day events. WAI’s Aviation Girl patch will be available exclusively through WAI chapters around the world to serve the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.
​Girl Guide fun patches are worn on the back of the uniform vest to show participation and interest in a subject or activity. "Since the inception of Girls in Aviation Day we have included Girl Scouts, so we created the patch to make Girls in Aviation Day part of Girl Scout culture,” said WAI President Dr. Peggy Chabrian. "We hope the girls will proudly wear their Aviation Girl patch and that it will serve to further promote an interest in aviation as a career and lifestyle.”
Girl Guides who participate in our Winnipeg Girls in Aviation Day event on October 5th, 2019, will have the chance to earn the Aviation Girl patch.
