Uinta Academy went to the Leonardo Museum for Uinta's August exploration trip in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. All of the Uinta girls go on a monthly explorations in order to learn as a whole. The Leonardo Museum is a hands-on museum where the girls can learn about learning. The Leonardo is about asking questions, and then participating in the activity. During this activity, the Uinta Academy girls learned about the origins of manned flight. They learned about the different types of flight including buoyant, ballistic and aerodynamic flight. While they were learning, the girls were able to climb in and on a massive C-131 aircraft. The girls sat in the cockpit to see what it takes to fly a plane. They were also able to go in a flight simulator and experience what modern day pilots go through today as they train to fly. Uinta Academy now has several girls interested in becoming pilots after their trip to the Leonardo.
