iFLY Indoor Skydiving offers students an exhilarating experience that combines the thrill of flight with STEM education. iFLY’s STEM Field Trip Program uses the science of flight to engage students in topics such as physics, mathematics, and engineering, all while experiencing the sensation of indoor skydiving in a safe and controlled environment.
Teachers planning a field trip to iFLY can expect their students to participate in a dynamic STEM lesson, where concepts like velocity, gravity, and drag are demonstrated in real time through the experience of body flight. Students will learn how engineers design wind tunnels, explore the physics behind indoor skydiving, and apply their knowledge to hands-on experiments.
Educational programs align with curriculum standards in STEM subjects. iFLY offers engaging presentations by STEM educators, interactive science demonstrations, and practical applications of scientific concepts, making abstract ideas like force and energy more tangible. Students will also get the chance to suit up and experience indoor skydiving themselves, giving them a firsthand understanding of how these scientific principles affect their flight.
Teachers are provided with pre-visit educational resources, including lesson plans and activity guides, to help students prepare for their STEM field trip. Post-visit materials are also available to extend the learning experience back in the classroom. Programs are adaptable for various grade levels and can be customized to fit specific educational goals.
A field trip to iFLY Indoor Skydiving offers students an unforgettable, hands-on learning experience, blending the excitement of flying with the practical application of STEM concepts in an engaging and fun environment.
