The students at St. Robert Bellarmine School, 6036 W. Eastwood Ave., in Chicago’s Portage Park neighborhood will get an exciting introduction to hot air ballooning when the RE/MAX, the Chicago real estate leader, brings its Hot Air Balloon to the school on Jan. 27. The visit is part of an on-going interactive educational program developed by RE/MAX.
The 235 students at the school will learn about various aspects of ballooning, including its history, the scientific principles involved and a demonstration on how the balloon functions. The program will begin at 10 a.m. outdoors where, if weather conditions permit, the 75-foot-tall balloon will be fully inflated with hot air. Otherwise, the event will be moved indoors. During indoor sessions, the balloon envelope is partially inflated with cold air so that students can walk inside it as part of the educational presentation.
RE/MAX Northern Illinois, the Chicago real estate leader, is sponsoring the event.
