The future of aviation will not be built by spectators. It will be built by young people who are invited into the shop, handed real tools, taught real skills, and shown that airplanes are built one careful step at a time. Join Mini-Max USA for a discussion on how simple, affordable aircraft projects can help EAA chapters, parents, mentors, schools, and youth programs introduce the next generation to aviation. This forum will cover why small hands-on aircraft projects are powerful teaching tools, how mentors can structure safe and meaningful build experiences, and how building airplanes can create future pilots, mechanics, engineers, craftsmen, and aviation leaders.
