RE/MAX Northern Illinois Real Estate Network brings the science of hot air ballooning to Chicago schools
John D. Schoop Academy of Math, Science and Technology, 11140 S. Bishop St. in the Morgan Park neighborhood of Chicago, IL, will get an exciting introduction to hot air ballooning when the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon and its crew visit the school on June 5. RE/MAX is the Chicago real estate leader and this program is offered to schools at no charge.
The 750 students and staff at Schoop will learn about the science and physics of hot air ballooning, including a live demonstration on how the balloon inflates. The program will begin at 9:15 a.m. outdoors on the school playground, where the balloon envelope will be inflated with hot air to its full 75-foot height, weather-permitting. The final portion of the program will take place in the school gymnasium.
If weather conditions make it necessary, the entire program can be moved indoors where the balloon envelope is inflated with cold air so that students can walk inside it.
The visit is part of an on-going interactive educational program developed and sponsored by the RE/MAX Northern Illinois real estate network.
