Girls in Aviation Day at the Henry B. Tippie National Aviation Education Center was a fantastic success! On September 21st, we had the pleasure of welcoming kids from across the Dallas area to explore the exciting world of aviation and express their creativity. Our first event as the Dallas chapter brought a unique blend of aviation and Latino culture, where kids got hands-on with painting mini pots inspired by traditional Mexican pottery—some even chose to paint their countries' flags! It was truly a wonderful way to celebrate both creativity and cultural heritage. A special thank you to our incredible volunteers—Erica, Matt, Jose, Jake, and Isabel—who dedicated their time and energy to make the day unforgettable. Your efforts helped inspire the next generation of aviation enthusiasts! 💙 We’re already looking forward to the next chapter in our journey to inspire young minds through the power of aviation.
