soFLY Southern Tropics Announces Girls in Aviation Day – Palm Beach Edition

STEM-Focused Aviation Event Returns to Alerion Aviation on September 3, 2025

soFLY Southern Tropics of Women in Aviation International, proudly announces the Palm Beach Edition of the 2025 Girls in Aviation Day (GIAD) South Florida Series. Taking place on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, from 10AM to 2PM at Alerion Aviation, this free event invites students and families to explore careers in aviation, aerospace, and advanced technology.

The Palm Beach Edition is expected to welcome hundreds of students from across the region and features immersive hands-on experiences including aircraft displays, flight simulators, STEM activities, and industry mentorship. The event is part of a three-city series held in collaboration with premier partners and supported by more than 50 corporate sponsors and dedicated volunteers.

GIAD is part of a growing global movement that engaged over 33,000 youth across 34 countries in 2024. It offers students a front-row seat to the world of aviation — from engineering and MRO to flight operations, leasing, and aviation finance.
