The weather is warming up, which means the MIT Skydiving Club is gearing up for a new season. Whether you're just looking to jump once or you're interested in getting your license, we can provide you with information and resources to make it happen. All are welcome, and pizza will be provided!
We recently filmed an episode for Season 2 of Science Out Loud, talking about the simple physics behind skydiving!
Congrats to club members Andrew Horning and Banks Hunter for both earning their USPA Coach ratings this year!
They can now both teach the general (non-method-specific) sections of the first jump course, conduct group freefall skills training, supervise students making group freefall training jumps (Cat F-H), and conduct re-currency training and jumps with licensed skydivers!
Check out club member Andrew Horning giving at talk at the MIT Museum!
