Event Description
The Women of the Aerospace Industry Association of Michigan (WAIAM) are committed to inspiring young children to explore and pursue careers in STEM. We believe that one of the most impactful ways to ignite this passion is through mentorship-introducing youths to professionals in the industry fosters a sense of connection and belonging within the STEM community.
GSMISTS Girl Scouts, here's your chance to collaborate and innovate!
The Michigan Youth Future Flight Challenge is a virtual, state-wide aerospace competition for students in grades 4-8. In groups of their choosing, participants are tasked with developing a sustainable flight solution to solve a real-world problem.
The Flight Challenge lasts four weeks, with a virtual Kickoff event at the beginning, 4 weeks of group and mentorship work, and virtual Final Presentations at the end. The project involves engineering, marketing, design, and business planning, with mentorship from aerospace professional mentors who provide support, feedback, and insight throughout the process.
