Overview

Think High, Fly High is not a lecture series. Students are split into squadrons named after Nepal's great peaks and compete across five days of hands-on challenges, earning points on a live leaderboard.

Each day is led by people who actually fly and fix aircraft. Students design and test aircraft, run an emergency relay, investigate a "black box", brief a weather go/no-go decision and finish by pitching their own airline — with a sealed crisis card opened live.

By the end, students understand how aviation really works, what the different careers involve, and which subjects they need to focus on to get there.
