Are you interested in some "Space Music"? If so, check my growing list of music related to space, the heavens, stars, the planets, and the cosmos. Do you know a song that isn't listed, let me know and I will add it.
After a few weeks of collaborative working on a mission patch, we were able to finish the design just in time for our trip to Dallas. Items included in our patch are:
The Escape Game: the Playground & DinnerAfter the exciting day at the Girls in Aviation conference and a short relaxing afternoon, we headed off to the Grapevine Mall for a little fun and dinner.
If You Can See It, You Can Be It
We are so honored to have been joined by:
Lynda Coffman, CEO, Women in Aviation International Olga Custodio, the first Hispanic female U.S. military pilot, United States Air Force Susan Mallett, Associate Director, Outreach & Partnerships, Civil Air Patrol Kelly Murphy, Director of Communications, Women in Aviation International Theresa Claiborne, the first Black female pilot in the U.S. Air Force
STEAM ActivitiesNow to play - the ballroom opened up into a large area with lots of booths full of activities and we headed to: the Flight Simulators!
After the flight simulators - we went to the mini drones and the unofficial challenge, of who could navigate through the most circles (steering wheel covers). There was so much to explore - a station for flying paper airplanes, another station for learning how to direct planes, a station where you built a drone from scratch and then flew it, a station where you could create a keychain from rivets, and so much more. Different colleges that specialized in ANYTHING AVIATION related. You could get a degree in anything and work in the Aviation industry. And of course - Selfie Time!
A job panel presented where different aspects of jobs in aviation were discussed. Panelists included a PHI Air Medical Medevac Helicopter Pilot, Airport K9 Police Officer, the Vice President of Technical Operation Engineering and Quality at American Airlines, and the Chief Operating Officer of PacTex Aviation (she is also the current Mrs. United States).
A Friday Night in Dallas in March 2026Scholarship winners were asked to attend the Girls in Aviation Day at the Women in Aviation Conference in Dallas, Texas. We would receive our Flight Jackets, Backpacks, and Scholarships during an award ceremony at the Girls in Aviation Day on Saturday. So travel arrangements were made and off we went to Dallas.
Friday night, I was able to meet my students and a parent during a casual dinner at Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet in Dallas. As I was able to visit with the parents of my students and the directors of the Endeavour Scholarship Foundation, the students were given time to talk and get to know each other. They will be working together and represent the USA at Space Camp this summer. After dinner, we had a team meeting at the hotel and develop a plan for Saturday at the conference. |
