Women Soar, You Soar
EAA’s Women Soar, You Soar is the ideal place for high school girls to explore the world of flight at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. Now in its fifth year, the unique program introduces 150 girls to an array of women engineers, fighter pilots, aviatrixes and aerospace professionals.
The three-day event is filled with career exploration opportunities, inspiration and plenty of fun! The Women Soar, You Soar program strives to engage and educate young women to pursue their dreams in aviation and beyond.
