STEM Day

Our second annual STEM Day Presented by Dayton Freight was a blast! Kids from all over the community came out to the airport and got to participate in fun, interactive STEM and aviation activities the day before the Air Show.

Details for the 2026 STEM Day Presented by Dayton Freight will be available in early 2026.

A U.S. Air Force service member in camouflage uniform explains aircraft systems to a young attendee inside a STEM display at the Dayton Air Show. The boy listens attentively while holding a water bottle, wearing a blue “Unleash” T-shirt and event lanyard. The STEM program logo, promoting science, technology, engineering, and math, is visible in the corner, highlighting the event’s educational aviation outreach.

Aviate Her

Our first-ever Aviate Her event was a resounding success! Aviate Her aims to encourage girls to explore aviation and all that it has to offer.

Details for the 2026 Aviate Her event will be released in early 2026.

A young woman participates in the “Aviate HER” event at the Dayton Air Show, wearing a virtual reality headset and holding a flight simulator joystick while seated in a booth. A monitor in front of her shows an aircraft in flight, and the Aviate HER logo with a propeller and flower design is displayed on the wall. She wears a tie-dye lanyard and purple shirt, highlighting the event’s focus on inspiring women in aviation through interactive technology.
