Our Vision
Our vision for ZDV hosting will include 5 stations for groups to rotate through.
The day would start off in the conference room, introducing ATC and what controllers do here at the center. Along with a controller and a pilot introduction. 
From there the girls will be divided into groups based on age and given a book that they will take to each station. The book will help them perform the activities and write notes.

STATIONS:

Flight Planning / Weather / Maps  - The girls will have to create a flight plan getting them from Denver to their destination based off of the weather and terrain. The pilots are going to work with them further on this to determine gas, route, weight etc.

ATC Reenactment  - This will be set up outside using the props ZDV currently has on hand. In each girl's book will be a flight strip and type of aircraft on it with the aircraft details. A flight strip will be printed out with the girls name and type of aircraft for the "controllers" working the planes. We will staff a control tower and radar potion. With the help of our volunteer pilots, the girls can play ATC and take turns being a controller and airplanes while learning about ATC and specific airplanes.  
Team Building  - Pilots and Controllers want to teach the girls the importance of working together and communication. The girls would watch the 2017 Archie League  video   from Southern Region.  The rest of the Team Building Station will be built around the importance of this video, knowing when to ask for help, how to be a team player and general discussion over the many topics presented in the video.

Control Room Walk through - The girls will have the opportunity to walk through the control room and watch how the aviation world works together and witness controllers separating aircraft and issuing safety alerts.
