It all starts with a dream!  

With the namesake of the aviation pioneer, Amelia Earhart, Amelia’s Aero Club is a space for middle school learners (grades 6–8) to explore high-demand careers and recognize a future in STEM is possible.  

Launched when the Museum acquired the Lockheed Model 10E Electra, the type of plane flown by Amelia Earhart, Amelia’s Aero Club fosters hands-on STEM exploration, meaningful relationships, and confidence. During Amelia’s Aero Club meetups learners connect with peers and industry professionals who reflect their brilliance, challenge their thinking, and walk beside them as they explore career paths, core values, and what’s next.
