Experience the exciting intersection of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with the iFLY STEM Program designed specifically for high school students. This unique program offers an engaging way to see physics and engineering principles come to life in a dynamic environment.
Students will explore how STEM concepts are applied in real-world scenarios by observing and interacting with flight instructors in the wind tunnel. They will learn to draw and interpret free-body force diagrams and understand fluid dynamics and forces acting on objects. The program includes hands-on experiments where students predict and test terminal velocity, comparing their calculations with actual flight data.
The program covers key learning objectives such as:
- Understanding the nature of fluids and forces
- Applying engineering principles to tunnel design and safety
- Exploring variability and error in experiments
- Using algebraic reasoning to predict physical phenomena
Students will also engage in classroom experiments and discussions to deepen their understanding of physics in action.
The program is hosted at iFLY indoor skydiving centers located in Sydney and Gold Coast. These centers are easily accessible and provide a safe, controlled environment for students to experience flight and STEM learning. Parents and educators can contact iFLY directly to arrange bookings and receive additional resources.
Safety is a top priority with trained instructors guiding all activities. The program is suitable for all abilities and designed to complement school curricula. Teachers are provided with comprehensive resources including brochures, guides, and worksheets to prepare students before and reinforce learning after the visit.
Bookings can be made online or by contacting iFLY customer service. Gift vouchers are available as a perfect treat for students, valid for 36 months and delivered instantly via email. Pricing details are provided upon inquiry to tailor the experience to your group’s needs.
