Honoring Women in Aviation Through Hands On Learning
The Greene School Aeronautics Program hosted Rosie the Riveter Day at the school’s new Flight Center, bringing together students, faculty, families, and community partners for a memorable afternoon of hands on learning and celebration. Organized by the High School Aeronautics Club and led by program director Kaye Ebelt, the event honored the legacy of women in aviation and industry while introducing students to real world aviation fabrication skills.
Rooted in the mission of The Greene School’s Aeronautics Program, Rosie the Riveter Day encouraged students to explore aviation, engineering, and STEM through authentic, engaging experiences that build confidence, curiosity, and problem solving skills.
A Day of Hands On Exploration and History
The afternoon began with a brief introduction to the history of Rosie the Riveter and the iconic “We Can Do It” image, highlighting the critical role women played in aviation manufacturing during World War II. This set the stage for a day that blended historical appreciation with modern hands on learning.
Students rotated through interactive stations led by members of the High School Aeronautics Club. Participants riveted personalized aluminum name tags and EAA airplanes, learned how to safely use a rivet gun to insert rivets, and practiced proper tool handling with Cleco pliers. One of the most popular activities was the Cleco Challenge, where students competed to see who could insert the most clecos in one minute. The current record stands at an impressive fifteen.
As students completed their activities, they earned Junior Riveter certificates recognizing their participation and newly learned skills.
Student Leadership and Mentorship in Action
High School Aeronautics Club members played a central role in the success of the event. Club students mentored younger participants, modeled proper tool safety, and shared their enthusiasm for aviation fabrication. Their leadership, professionalism, and patience were evident throughout the afternoon and reflected the strong culture of the program.
A Rosie the Riveter themed photo booth added to the excitement, capturing joyful moments as students posed with visiting Rosie the Riveters, wearing vintage aviation caps, goggles, and signature red headbands.
Community Support and Gratitude
A heartfelt thank you goes to the Women’s 99s for sending two outstanding Rosie the Riveters, as well as to EAA and ADK for their continued partnership and support. We are also grateful to the students and parents who joined us and helped make the event such a success. Your encouragement and enthusiasm play a vital role in strengthening our aeronautics community.
Special thanks to the High School Engineering class for building the rivet wedge demonstrators used throughout the day. Your craftsmanship and support were instrumental in making Rosie the Riveter Day a meaningful and successful experience.
A Signature Experience of The Greene School Aeronautics Program
Rosie the Riveter Day exemplified the vision of The Greene School Aeronautics Program under the leadership of Kaye Ebelt.
