Pre-Flight
Opportunity Description
The Pre-flight Initiative, founded in May 2009, is principally an academic program based on principals of flight that brings science, math and engineerning to life with excitement to students while building individual and team competencies that exercise critical thinking towards investigating hypotheses which are required for flight development and daily living. The spectrum of field activities are related to studies in the classrooms leading to academic trajectories for students to cover principles of physics, calculus and include applications addressing the environment, changing weather and human safety.
