Boy Scouts of America + iFLY STEM
iFLY is proud to collaborate with the Boy Scouts of America and all Cub Scouts, Webelos Scouts, Scouts BSA, and Venturers across the nation. Through this collaboration, we offer Scouts a chance to earn the STEM Nova Award and enjoy an evergreen discount for Scouts and their families to fly anytime.
"We had a lot better sign up for this than we do for most events, because everybody was excited to go flying!"
Scouts Can Soar

Included as a resource material for the 'Exploration' portion of the STEM Nova Award the video is an interview with wind tunnel engineer Mark Arlitt. He and fellow Engineer and Author Christina Soontornvat discuss how closed loop vertical wind tunnels were created and how STEM played an integral role in the creation of indoor skydiving.
