Indoor Skydiving and STEM Science!

We reserved the entire location for our group to experience math, physics, and engineering come to life! 

This location was chosen based off the quality of the facility and the program. This is their number one facility in California and home to their top team of educators. 

When?  February 3rd, 12:45pm - 4:30pm

Who?  This experience is for elementary, middle school, and high school homeschool students.  During the lab time, students will be separated into appropriate grade levels to maximize the educational component.

Parents and siblings are welcome to attend and watch. Parents, you can fly too! 

Every flyer will need a ticket. 

Students can also be dropped-off for this event as there are HFAC educators there to accompany and support them throughout this adventure.

Where: IFly Ontario

Cost: $69 with high flight included

What is included?

Educational Resources will be sent out for each grade level group, to all that register.

Pre-trip meet-up: An opportunity for students to meet-up before their exciting trip together with an opportunity for games, education, and fun! 

Field Trip Program Format

Interactive Presentation: The STEM educator introduces the science, engineering, and math concepts involved with flying in vertical wind tunnels and skydiving.

Lab Activity: Students get to experience a hands-on investigation where each student will practice science process skills such as measurement and analyzing data.

Flying: Each student gets two flights (one high flight) with a certified world-class IFly instructor. 

Grand Finale: During the demo, students see how various balls and other objects behave in the wind tunnel and are asked to predict in which order the items will fly with increased wind speeds due to their size, weight, shape, and surface area.

Wrap Up: The educator reviews STEM trends and careers and answers any outstanding student questions.

Add-On Media: At the location, student have the option to purchase photos and/or a video of their flight for $5-$8 more

Personal note:

This location was chosen based off the quality of the facility and the program. This is their number one facility in California with their top team of educators. Personally, I have experienced the Hollywood location, and was told by IFly that this is the smallest of the tunnels and the program is not as robust. We are excited to experience Ontario IFly with you all!
