What would the day look like?
The Wings of Tomorrow Symposium offers something powerful and unique for your students during a portion of the school day. The program is about 2 hours and 45 minutes long and is designed to be flexible to work best with your bell schedule.
The Symposium kicks off with a Panel Discussion for all students, followed by three breakout sessions that students will rotate through. The student body would be broken into three groups in order to attend all three breakout sessions. An example schedule would look like:
- Panel Discussion: 60 minutes* (All Students)
- Breakout Session #1: 30 minutes* (Group A)
- Breakout Session #2: 30 minutes* (Group B)
- Breakout Session #3: 30 minutes (Group C)
*Followed by a 5-minute passing period
Two of the three breakout sessions take place indoors focusing on some of the important topics mentioned above. The third breakout session takes place outdoors, offering students a chance to engage with more hands-on activities like the U.S. Air Force Flight Simulator, VR challenges, interactive stations, and more.
