School Tours - PAUSED FOR CONSTRUCTION
The future of our country depends on the career decisions our children make, and manufacturing is an industry that needs to boom again to help our economy grow.
Flying S has hosted a number of local schools and colleges to tour the facility in order to encourage students to consider a career in engineering or manufacturing.
If your class is interested in scheduling a tour please click on the Tours tab and complete the form on the tour tab or call us at (618) 586-9999 to make arrangements.
NEW: Now that we have a chef on staff, with advance notice we can offer lunch and a tour for a small price.
Flying S Summer Workshops - Cadets & Rookies Sign Up
In 2014 Flying S began a program designed to give local students the opportunity to learn about science in a fun and engaging way. Since then they have hosted interactive workshops about Bridge Building, Co2 Pine Car Derby, Rockets, Egg Drops and more.
This year we will host 4 evenings of workshops from 5-7PM. Cadets (12yo and under) will build and launch rockets, learn about electricity and built and raced Co2 Pine Derby Cars. Rookies (13yo+) will build a BIG rocket, do an intro to woodworking class, build a clock from carbon fiber and 3D printed hands for it.
Most parents stay through the evening to help, especially with younger children. Event times are always listed on Facebook, so become a fan today to stay in the loop!
