• Full Hands-On Experience (Homeschool & Co-ops):

  • Our most immersive, flight-crew STEM program centered entirely on real-world, hands-on aviation science. Students take on active ground crew roles—stepping inside a massive walk-in cold envelope, stress-testing aerospace materials, and testing the burner controls directly from inside the basket. As a special bonus, our pilot may offer a live tethered flight if morning weather and wind conditions are absolutely calm and ideal; however, tethered ascents are an optional extra and never guaranteed, as the core focus remains entirely on interactive ground-based flight training. (Per-student fee; payable via Step Up for Students, self-pay, or limited sponsorship).

​

• Standard Homeschool & Co-op Demonstration 

  • An interactive, ground-based group STEM presentation tailored for learning pods, co-ops, or our field days. While our Full Hands-On track puts students directly in charge of equipment as the active flight crew, this track focuses on a guided group walkthrough of the aviation science curriculum, walk-in cold envelope exploration, and an upright static hot inflation display—with no flights or student burner controls. (Volunteer-sponsored; nominal group fee applies based on travel and size to keep it accessible to all family budgets).

​

• Standard School Assembly (Public & Private Schools):

  • A large-scale campus presentatio

  • n designed for entire grade levels or school bodies. Features a complete STEM flight walkthrough, walk-in envelope tours by class, upright hot inflation demonstration, and interactive pack-up—strictly ground-based at all times. (Volunteer-sponsored assembly model).
