In mid-September, founder Beth White traveled to Miami for the Yass Prize Accelerator, joining education innovators from across the country. Habitat for Aviation was one of 26 contenders for the 2026 $1 million Yass Prize, often called the “Pulitzer of Education Innovation.”
From September 13 through 17, Beth took part in accelerator sessions at Mater Brickell Academy, practiced and refined a three-minute pitch, and, on September 17, shared Habitat for Aviation’s story with the judges.
During the Miami week, we worked alongside other wonderful organizations working in permissionless ways at the edges of education, and, together, sharpened our stories. We were proud to represent our hangar and our Modern Rosies on a national stage. We are honored and humbled by the invitation to be part of this rigorous and prestigious community of education innovators.
