Girls Take Flight starts in January with assemblies for up to 100 sophomore and junior year girls at select high schools in San Diego's low-income neighborhoods. Students are introduced to the people, technology, use, and careers related to UAVs, with a focus on females working in this sector. The kick-off attendees are invited to apply for a weeklong drone camp with 40 hours of instruction, where 20 girls will learn basic coding to program autonomous flight, learn basic manual flying skills, and practice on a drone flight simulator. Camp participants are invited to apply for an intensive practicum at EIS that runs from May through October. Ten girls are chosen to continue into this final stage of the program. The practicum takes place after school, on weekends, and on summer weekdays for a total of 150 hours of instruction. Instructors help students study for their 107 Remote Pilot Certification.

Girls Take Flight is a unique and innovative program that empowers high school girls with technology training to start on the pathway to a STEM career. We focus on gender diversity to open doors for historically underrepresented girls so they can see themselves as STEM professionals. Participants learn Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), aka drone, aviation skills. In addition to the technical training, students are introduced to female STEM professionals and aeronautical careers. Female drone pilots provide all instruction and support to ensure participants have the best chance to obtain their FAA remote pilot certificate.
