The National Aviation Hall of Fame (NAHF) and PBS affiliate\nThinkTV announced they have partnered to create the NAHF education program.\nDiscovering Flight: Learning with the National Aviation Hall of Fame is a\ncomprehensive STEAM-based curriculum using standards-aligned videos,\ninteractives, lesson plans, and more for young learners as well as teachers and\nparents working to support and inspire the next generation of aerospace\nlegends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Discovering Flight is an activity driven program for\nelementary and middle school students that explores aerospace science and\nhistory with the Wright Brothers. Students travel alongside the historic\nbrothers to share in the discoveries they made while interacting with other\nfamous pilots to deliver fun educational experiences for on-line learning and\nin the classroom. Additionally, the curriculum folds in components that foster\nan appreciation of the nation\u2019s extraordinary aviation legacy by honoring the\nexceptional individuals who led the way. The result is a better understanding\nof the practical wonders of flight and encouragement to participate in the\nincredible future achievements that will spotlight America\u2019s remaining air and\nspace frontiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The late Mrs. Zoe Dell Nutter, Trustee Emeritus, who served\nas the first female President and then Chair of the Board of the NAHF,\ngraciously agreed to underwrite the new program before her passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFrom the conception of flight by the Wright Brothers to the\ntwenty-three Ohio natives who have become astronauts, more than any other\nstate, aviation has held a proud place in Ohio history,\u201d Mrs. Nutter said. \u201cI\nhave always believed in the importance of the NAHF mission to capture and share\nthe nation\u2019s heritage and, through this partnership, we will inspire the next\ngeneration of aviation greats.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ThinkTV Corporate and Community Connections Director Greg\nSchell said, \u201cThe NAHF program includes the development of a multifaceted\ncurriculum that will be distributed through Crayons to Classrooms (C2C) to\nteachers, especially those in under-resourced schools. It incorporates NAHF\nDigital Studios and Interactives for ThinkTV\u2019s STEM WORLD and PBS\nLearningMedia, a NAHF Discovering Flight PBS KIDS engagement page and the\ncreation of interactives to be shared via the NAHF website and social media.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just as diverse as those inducted into the NAHF, there is\nnot just one aspect of aviation covered in the program. NAHF Enshrinees and\ncandidates of varied abilities, methods, influences and backgrounds are\npresented in the true multi-disciplinary approach combining science, language\narts, mathematics and social studies. Featured Enshrinees include mechanics\nlike Charles Taylor; trailblazing pilots like Bessie Coleman, Amelia Earhart,\nBob Hoover and Patty Wagstaff; inventors and engineers like Frank Whittle, Igor\nSikorsky, and Kelly Johnson; General Aviation legends like Olive Beech, Al\nUeltschi and Paul and Tom Poberezny; and aviation visionaries like Burt and\nDick Rutan, Alan and Dale Klapmeier and Joan Sullivan Garrett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe NAHF is committed to providing STEAM exposure to\nunder-served communities. As a designated hub for innovation, aerospace will\ncontinue to be an honored part of Ohio\u2019s legacy for generations to come. An\nimperative part of that is the inclusion of a highly skilled aerospace\nworkforce,\u201d NAHF President and CEO Amy Spowart said. \u201cWe know that the aviation\nand aerospace industry faces a shortage of trained technical graduates. At the\nsame time, attracting young learners into pursuing STEAM careers is not simple.\nAt the NAHF, we see the work to inspire and build the confidence of future\naerospace innovators as an essential part of our mission.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
