Girls With Wings, Inc., would like to announce their upcoming visit to the Jamestown, ND, area to offer the highly successful Girls With Wings® presentation: an introduction to “everything” a pilot needs to know in order to complete a flight.
About the Presentation:
This interactive presentation incorporates various aeronautical tools and the talk begins where the girls are asked if they think they could ever figure out what a pilot does, to which they invariably reply “no.” After showing them navigation charts, demonstrating the methods of communicating with ATC, and playing a game explaining what the flight instruments do, they are reminded that they said at the onset they never thought they would be able to figure out how to fly!
The mission is to illustrate that they can comprehend anything, achieve any feat, and even fly a plane if they just put their minds to it. Perhaps their future is not in aviation but this still is a fantastic tool to help them to understand the true meaning of this lesson: doing what they love may require hard work and study the results of which can be great rewards and personal satisfaction.
GIRLS WITH WINGS, INC:A nonprofit organization using aviation to entertain and educate girls about their limitless opportunities for personal growth via an interactive website and presentations to girls groups and organizations. The programs, presentations and scholarships are funded through private donations.
