We are an “Experience & Learning” Network
What We Offer
Hands‑on experiences in Drone & Autonomous Tech, STEM, and Emerging Aviation — including summer camps, travel experiences, volunteer opportunities, and brand‑building programs.
How Participation Works
We do not offer memberships.
There’s no fee to “join.” Instead, you simply register for the experiences, programs, and learning opportunities that interest you.

Our Vision for Growing the Industry:
When the history about this sector of aviation is written,
women will be included in the narrative about the pioneers and trailblazers who forged a new industry.
Through our educational efforts, we offer programs to support Kindergarten to Career.
Our Reach: The organization’s network has connected with women in twenty-two countries.
Our Goal: To inspire and support more women to pursue careers in STEM and aviation.
Why Women and Girls? If we want to see more girls in STEM and aviation, it’s OUR responsibility to inspire them.
Our Motto: “If you can see me, you can be me”
