Friday Preview Sessions: Join us online before Saturday — every Friday at 11am or 4pm. We cover the schedule, answer every question, and get you enrolled. Zoom sends your link & passcode instantly.
Free open house, drone certification, AI app building, aircraft discovery flights, and PPL simulator — all in one day. Ages 6 and up. Most SUFS-eligible families pay $0.
The Full Day
Every Saturday runs eight hours of aviation, aerospace, and technology programming. Classes repeat in the afternoon so families with scheduling conflicts can still participate.
How the course system works: Each intro course has 4 parts × 2 hours each — 8 total hours to complete Beginner level. Parts 1 & 2 run on Saturday Week 1. Parts 3 & 4 run on Saturday Week 2. Students who complete all 4 parts receive a graduation certificate. Intermediate (Parts 1–8) and Advanced (Parts 1–12) follow in subsequent months. Longer individual courses can be scheduled Mon/Wed/Fri online or in-person — contact us for details.
