EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) Chapter 461 is currently leading an immersive youth aviation initiative that puts teenagers and young adults in the builder’s seat of a real aircraft project. Participants are actively constructing a Zenith 650, gaining hands-on experience in aeronautical engineering, mechanical systems, teamwork, technical competence and problem solving. This program transforms curiosity about flight into practical skills, giving students a rare opportunity to learn by doing while developing professional confidence and technical knowledge that supports future careers in aviation and STEM fields.
