We are experiencing some turbulance... 

​TECgirls have run this family-friendly festival in Cornwall since 2025, reaching over a thousand girls across Cornwall and their families. The all day STEM event gives girls a chance to get stuck into the world of aviation, aerospace, and engineering. Girls and their families can climb inside real aircraft, try out hands-on engineering activities, explore how planes are designed and built, and discover the clever ideas that keep them flying.

 

With over 20 interactive stands and workshops led by engineers and apprentices, we wanted to create a place to explore, create, and experiment. ​Along the way, girls meet inspiring female engineers, pilots, and industry professionals, hear their stories, ask questions, and start imagining their own future in aviation and aerospace engineering.

​

For the past three years we had fantastic support from the Civil Aviation Authority and the Department of Transport through their Reach for the Sky programme.  However in 2027 their funding priorities have shifted towards much need support for NEETs and young people 16+. This means they are no longer able to be a lead sponsor for the festival, so we are actively looking for new sponsors to help continue the festival and to support the team that has made it happen.
