Lift Off- Flight Innovators

Enquire Now
Step into the world of flight and aerodynamics in this hands-on program where students become aviators, designers, and engineers.

Exploring the principles of flight through practical experimentation, students investigate how lift, drag, thrust and weight interact to make flight possible. They will design, build, and test a small scale model aircraft, applying scientific inquiry and design thinking to improve their flight performance.

*Launching in Term 3, 2026.
