Barbie who walked on the scene in 1959, is about to launch a new career. This Barbie will be working with Virgin Atlantic to promote careers for women in the broad spectrum of careers in aviation—not just as a flight attendant, but as flight crewmembers and aerospace engineers. The aim of the program is to promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) to prepare them for these career paths.
