PILOT TRAINING
SKOLNICK collaborated with media designers Unified Field, Inc. to develop a variety of immersive environments that let kids step into the roles of airline crew and airport staff. Children can test out their pilot skills by flying a plane in the cockpit simulator and pretend play with low-tech interactives in the airplane’s cabin.
ALL ABOUT FLYING
Children are challenged to test their geography and memorization skills playing a large Concentration-style game with images of iconic landmarks from different jetBlue destinations. Younger children can also fly planes around a large magnetic map of the United States. An illustrated, graphic timeline along the runway highlights key events in aviation history and a small reading nook provides kids and caregivers with a quiet space to relax together before their flight.
