The da Vinci Dialogues ft. Professor Suzanne Kearns

More than five centuries after Leonardo da Vinci imagined machines that could carry people into the sky, his work continues to show young people that aviation begins with curiosity, creativity, and the courage to imagine what does not yet exist. In this Dialogue, Dr. Suzanne Kearns will connect da Vinci’s enduring legacy with the opportunity to inspire and support the next generation of aviation professionals. She will explore how education, mentorship, accessible pathways, and collaboration can help young people discover the many possibilities within aviation and prepare them to shape a safer, more sustainable, and inclusive future for flight. As aviation enters a period of extraordinary transformation, da Vinci’s example reminds us that its future will be created by those who are given the knowledge, encouragement, and freedom to dream.
