Middle and high school girls invited to attend aviation event

On Oct. 5, Chicago’s Leading Edge, a local chapter of Women in Aviation International, will host its 8th annual “Sky’s The Limit – Interactive Aviation Camp” designed to expose middle and high school girls to aviation and potential careers in that field.

The event will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Lewis University in Romeoville in the Harold E. White Aviation Center. The camp is free (and lunch will be provided), but pre-registration is required by Oct. 1.

Participants will fly a flight simulator, pre-flight a Cessna 172, learn how to become an airplane mechanic, learn how the air traffic control system works with an interactive lab run by O’Hare International Airport operators and attend a career panel to meet women in a variety of positions within the industry.
