Carol Stream and Bloomingdale real estate experts at RE/MAX All Pro in Bloomingdale, Illinois, are sponsoring a special interactive educational program for the students at Roy DeShane Elementary School, 475 Chippewa Trail, in Carol Stream, Ill. Students will learn about hot air ballooning when the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon and its crew pay a visit at 9 a.m. on May 16. The program is designed to help students learn more about ballooning and how it relates to the subjects they study in school.
The 450 students at DeShane will learn about various aspects of ballooning, its history and the scientific principles involved. Plus, they will see a demonstration on how the balloon functions. During one portion of the program, students can walk inside the balloon envelope, which is partially inflated with cold air. Later, if weather permits, the 70-foot-tall balloon will be fully inflated outdoors.
The visit is part of an on-going balloon education program developed by RE/MAX Northern Illinois.
