Program Description
A real, full-size Hot Air Balloon at your school! WOW! This program is a unique, educational program for elementary and secondary schools. Several formats of this program are available. The program includes a LIVE inflation as well as two 30–40-minute education session assemblies. The heart of the program is the indoor presentation illustrated with slides. Many subjects are covered during this time including the history of ballooning and aviation, the effect of weather, the mechanics of modern ballooning, licensing and more. The live demonstration can be tailored to almost any subject and is where the students see the balloon in action...inflated and up close and personal, in a welcoming and affirming environment! The live demonstration includes opportunities for student leadership. The Hot Air Balloon is magnificent and inspiring sight, one that students and teachers alike will always remember! An alternate indoor venue is required in the event of inclement weather. The balloon will be inflated on its side indoors. While a different experience indoors, it’s just as cool as the outdoor inflation! Available November to April only.
