Operation Airlift

Operation Airlift is an engineering design competition that encourages enthusiasm in our city’s youth about STEM learning, multidisciplinary collaboration, and discovery. Over 150 youth from Chicagoland schools and youth-serving organizations bring their STEM game to participate in this dynamic competition by designing and building the best possible remote-controlled airship. We’re calling on volunteers to support and celebrate our young designers as they rise to the challenge!
