Aviation Event

When: May 4 and 5
Where: Edmonton Convention Centre

The Association of Independent Schools and Colleges (AISCA) is excited to bring an immersive aviation experience to Edmonton this year! Previously hosted in Calgary, the event is landing at the Edmonton Convention Centre on May 4 and 5, in collaboration with Alberta Aviation, Aerospace & Defence.

Students grades 7-12 will dive into interactive challenges covering aircraft structures, avionics, maintenance, virtual reality, and creative, out-of-the-box problem-solving. 

AISCA teams will be on display not only for attendees of the Aviation, Aerospace, and Defence Summit happening alongside the event, but also for hundreds of local high school students eager to explore careers in Aircraft Maintenance. 

Participants will:

1. Try engaging in hands-on activities
2. Meet local aviation businesses
3. Hear from industry mentors about career pathways
