+ Grow confidence in your choice of mathematics and science subjects at school and learn how to apply this knowledge in a real and exciting career pathway.
+ Plan a flight mission.
+ Develop your leadership and resilience skills during our specialist workshops.
+ Mix and mingle with other like-minded individuals from around New Zealand as well as our fantastic service personnel who were once just like you, looking to make a decision about their future.

About
School to Skies is a Royal New Zealand Air Force initiative, originally developed in 2016, to address the low numbers of women in the male-dominated military workforce. Since then, it has grown into a broader diversity and inclusion programme. We deliver aviation science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) content across New Zealand - in schools, community programmes and targeted camps for women, under-represented ethnic groups and teachers. Our point of difference is our use of hands-on experiential learning and mentoring from serving personnel and influential industry leaders.
