The Australian Youth Aerospace Association (AYAA) is a not-for-profit organisation managed by student and young-professional volunteers, who share the objective of promoting education, awareness and involvement in the aerospace industry to the youth of Australia. The AYAA hosts two major annual events: the Australian Youth Aerospace Forum (AYAF) for high school students, the Aerospace Futures conference (AF) for undergraduate and postgraduate university students. They also run the Australian Universities Rocket Competition (AURC) and the Astra Program for university students and young professionals. The AYAA runs local events in each state to further expose students to the aerospace industry and facilitate networking among peers. Meet the national committee at www.ayaa.com.au/about
