The focus is on empowering children to change attitudes - theirs and others. Featuring our new addition Race to Ubuntu. "Race for Ubuntu" is a fun, fast-paced game where players race against a timer to get to the finish but in order for one person to win, everyone else must also reach the finish. The success of one player is tied to that of all the players, illustrating the need for people of all races to come together in unity. Kids on the Fly Terminal 2 at O'Hare International Airport is the place to pilot a plane, fuel a jet, and set a propeller to twirling. Traveling families can enjoy this exhibit free of charge.
