SheFlies
Increasing the number of women in drones, aviation and space — representation, capacity and cooperation in fields that still shut girls out.
This suite of programs was created to inspire and provide a platform for change. Women and girls should shape the technology that shapes their lives — including the skies and orbit above us.
The gap is real
<1%
of drone pilots in Australia are women
~3%
in the UK

How we fly
Getting girls into space
Co-founder April Staines — April Storm Props — co-authored Girl Geeks: Making Magic, inspiring young girls to explore what’s possible in space through making and props for “SPACETACULAR”.
Virtual reality drone racing
We work with creators like Casey Thomas (Drone Legion) — a VR drone racing simulator based on the real sport of racing tiny quadcopters at speeds up to 150km/h.
World of Drones
Partners like Dr Catherine Ball bring ethics, education and Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems into schools, remote communities and citizen science.
