Operation Airlift is an engineering design competition designed to spark imagination and enthusiasm about STEM learning for Chicagoland youth. In this exciting interdisciplinary competition, more than 150 middle schoolers from Chicagoland schools and youth-serving organizations bring their STEM A-game to build the finest remote-controlled airship they can. We’re calling on adult volunteers to collaborate with these young designers and cheer them on as they rise to the challenge!
