TULSA, Okla. - s4story -- Tulsa, OK – Tulsa Air and Space Museum (TASM) will host Girls in Aviation Week, a free program introducing girls ages 10–18 to aviation, aerospace, and STEM careers through hands-on learning and direct engagement with industry professionals. The event runs February 24-27.

Each day opens with a panel of women in aviation and aerospace who share experiences, career journeys, and answer questions. Participants will attend a planetarium show focused on space and flight science, complete STEM challenges, and explore museum exhibits including Women in Aviation, a Space Shuttle simulator, and historic aircraft.

Girls in Aviation Week is funded by a Community Action Grant from AAUW. Community Action Grants provide funding to AAUW branches and state organizations, and local, community-based nonprofit organizations for innovative programs that promote education and equality for women and girls. Special consideration is given to projects that focus on girls' and young women's achievement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
