iSTREAM hosted another successful Aviation Day, and believe it or not, this was our 3rd Annual Aviation Day! The event brought together students from across the region for a day filled with hands-on learning, career exploration, and exciting opportunities in aviation and technology.
We were honored to welcome Bridgette Fabor-Palmer from the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals (OBAP), who shared valuable insights about careers as a flight attendant and the many opportunities available throughout the aviation industry.
Throughout the day, students participated in engaging sessions covering a variety of topics:
- Cybersecurity in aviation
- RC model aircraft
- Aviation call signs and communication
- Drone technology
- Reverse engineering
Students traveled from several communities to attend, making this one of our most diverse and well-attended Aviation Days yet.
One of the highlights of the event was the awarding of four Discovery Flights, generously donated by Air-Mods Flight Center in Roebling, NJ. These flights will give students the opportunity to experience aviation from the cockpit and take their first steps toward becoming pilots.
In addition, Drone Tech Navigators donated personal drones to three lucky students, providing them with tools to continue exploring drone technology beyond the event.
Lunch was provided free of charge, and attendees had the opportunity to hear from an outstanding panel of aviation and aerospace professionals. Our guest speakers represented organizations including Lockheed Martin, Civil Air Patrol, OBAP, Parts Life, Inc., and other industry leaders who shared their experiences and advice with the next generation of aviation professionals.
We are grateful to all of our speakers, sponsors, volunteers, and partners who helped make this event possible. Most importantly, we thank the students whose enthusiasm and curiosity continue to inspire us each year.
We look forward to seeing everyone at next year’s Aviation Day as we continue to inspire future leaders in aviation, aerospace, and technology!
