Fun Aviation Opportunities for WI Youth

As we head into the holiday season, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Bureau of Aeronautics and partner organizations would like to invite Wisconsin educators, students, and families to participate in the following upcoming activities.  

• Aviation Art Contest – Call for entries
• Looking for something fun to do over the holiday break? How about creating an art piece for WisDOT’s aviation art contest? Youth ages 6-17 are invited to participate in WisDOT’s annual Aviation Art Contest. The top three entries in each age group will advance to the national contest and receive a $25 gift card (with prizes sponsored by Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium and the Wisconsin chapters of Women in Aviation International).
• The deadline to post entries is Tuesday, January 19, 2021. More information is available on the WisDOT Art Contest webpage: http://wisconsindot.gov/artcontest  

• Special Virtual Movie Screening – “Fly Like a Girl” (January 23^rd)
  • Join the Wisconsin chapters of Women in Aviation International for a free virtual screening of the new documentary “Fly Like a Girl,” featuring accomplished female aviators, as well as a live Q/A and prizes with Wisconsin aviators afterward.
  • A special guest will soon be announced, and registration link posted, on the event webpage: https://www.facebook.com/events/3777633092270015

Thanks so much for helping us get the word out about these opportunities! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
