Ready for Take Off?

​This family-friendly festival is all about getting 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, there’s plenty to explore, create, and experiment with.

​

Along the way, girls will meet inspiring female engineers, pilots, and industry professionals, hear their stories, ask questions, and start imagining their own future in aviation and aerospace engineering.
