Frontiers of Flight Museum

Our impact is multigenerational. The memories irreplaceable. 
And with our $38,000 matching gift, your North Texas Day donation is amplified! 

Frontiers of Flight Museum, an official Smithsonian Affiliated Museum, tells the story of flight - it’s science, innovation, wonder and adventure, through objects and narratives in more than twenty galleries and displays in a Texas-sized 100,000 square foot airplane hangar.   We've channeled our resources and expertise to create one of the most dynamic innovative Aerospace-STEM programs in the country - educating and caring for students from some of the most impoverished neighborhoods in Dallas-Fort Worth.

We’re committed to creating long-term change and championing diversity in STEM education for students and teachers and creating career pathways, especially for young girls and students of color from historically under-represented communities.   With your NTGD donation, you will help dreams take flight for students and visitors from across the Metroplex by supporting these featured campaigns:

A Permanent Women in Aerospace and Aviation Exhibit: This exhibit will showcase all the women in aviation, including aerospace engineers, STEM educators, flight attendants and pilots. Young girls who visit the museum and see the exhibit will be able to see themselves represented in the industry!

Girls Aerospace STEM Challenge: The program would educate girls with aerospace-focused programs through in-school classroom instruction giving them a pathway from poverty to self-sufficiency, changing the trajectory of future generations in their families.

Improved Visitor Experience: This fall we’ll update our facilities to make every visitor feels the magic of the museum! This includes adding food & beverage options and updating the museum store and birthday hangar.

Raamel Mitchell, director, app innovation, data, and artificial intelligence for Microsoft said, “We are excited to work with Frontiers of Flight for North Texas Giving Day and our Microsoft Team Volunteers on September 19. As a technology company and innovation leader, Microsoft is passionate about increasing the participation of underrepresented populations in STEM related education and career initiatives. To maintain their interest in Aerospace-STEM specific programs, we invest in programs like The Girls STEM Challenge at the Frontiers of Flight Museum, powered in part in 2024 by contributions to North Texas Giving Day, which exposes young women to the myriads of opportunities in technology, computer science and aerospace business fields."
