WOMEN CAN DO - Vermont Works for Women

Women Can Do is an annual, one-day trades and STEM career exploration conference for high school girls.

Every year, hundreds of students attend Women Can Do to meet local employers, learn to use a variety of tools and equipment, and expand their sense of what’s possible in education and career pathways.

From the Action Expo to the Resource Hall, every part of Women Can Do is about supporting girls in stepping outside their comfort zones, taking positive risks, and feeling confident in making decisions about their futures. 

Habitat for Aviation will be participating in Women Can Do and will table the event. The Women Build Planes team will have a beading activity that will involve soldering, safety wiring, and heat shrink.

The Future of Education through the Lens of Big Picture Learning

Join us for an inspiring online conversation about the future of education through the lens of Big Picture Learning—a global movement that has long shown what becomes possible when young people, not exams, sit at the center of learning. Together, we’ll explore how real-world internships, personalized pathways, and meaningful relationships can create an education system rooted in purpose and belonging. This session is for educators, researchers, and changemakers who want to imagine something more human, joyful, and responsive to the world young people are entering. The conversation will be led by Professor Scott Boldt, co-author with Big Picture Learning founder Elliot Washor of Learning to Leave: How Real-World Learning Transforms Education.

If you wish to attend, please email info@habitatforaviation.org for the Zoom link.

WOMEN BUILD PLANES: A Milestone in Aviation History - with Beth White & WBP Team Members.

Hear Beth White share her remarkable journey into aviation, sparked by a daring thought: “If Beryl Markham could fly solo across the Atlantic in the 1930s, why can’t I?” Follow her path as she earns her pilot’s license, meets an unexpected 80-year-old airplane mechanic mentor, and survives breast cancer, leading to a renewed life purpose. Discover how she now fosters the next generation of aviators, builders, and innovators by providing hands-on opportunities in aviation. Beth will be joined by some of the fabulous WOMEN BUILD PLANES team members - the Modern Rosies.
