BalloonTalk – A Real Hot Air Balloon Comes to YOUR School!

BalloonTalk is a STEM/STEAM program that enlightens your students about the exciting adventure of piloting this unique aircraft by bringing a real hot air balloon to your school!

BalloonTalk engages students in ways completely different than other programs that most kids have never encountered. It’s an ideal platform for teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts and makes them more engaging and relatable! We use hot air balloons to get your students pumped and make an impression that lasts. How does a hot air balloon fly? What does the pilot need to do? Don’t miss this chance to inspire your students, and add to your STEM/STEAM program!
