Learning should be fun! And a few weeks ago Myself and my brother got to bring a few of our students through the STEM program at ifly - Calgary. It was an experience like no other! The highlights included a fun classroom time where we were taught about aerodynamics and terminal velocity. An interactive workshop where we designed our own parachutes and tested them out, and of course flying in the massive wind tunnel! It was SO MUCH FUN! The iFly field trip is excellent.
