The National Aviation Hall of Fame (NAHF), the nation\u2019s only\nCongressionally chartered aviation hall of fame, is honored to announce a new\npartnership with the State of Ohio, PBS affiliate ThinkTV, national and local\norganizations, and regional officials to create and distribute their\naviation-focused, STEAM Program Discovering Flight: Learning with the NAHF to\nOhio schools most impacted by learning loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThrough the creation and promotion of a new and exciting\nSTEAM curriculum, the NAHF is continuing Ohio\u2019s strong legacy of being first in\nflight and first in aviation innovation,\u201d said Governor Mike DeWine. \u201cI applaud\nthe hall of fame for its efforts to teach students about Ohio\u2019s proud past,\nwhile also inspiring them to champion the future of Ohio-led STEAM \u2013 and\nspecifically aviation \u2013 breakthroughs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Discovering Flight: Learning with the National Aviation Hall\nof Fame is a multi-faceted educational program for elementary-age children. It\nincludes Problem Solving with Wilbur and Orville, created by the education\nexperts at ThinkTV\/PBS, and is a series of three individual, 5-unit, classroom\ncurricula for elementary grades. Each lesson aligns with national curriculum\nstandards and grade proficiency outcomes and includes classroom activities,\ndigital videos, interactives, and additional resources that bring science,\nhistory, and the invention of powered flight, to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Discovering Flight also includes Why I Fly, a series of\nshort videos featuring an individual engaged in an aviation or aerospace\ncareer. Created by Hemlock Films, the focus of each film is to share the whole\nrealm of aviation and aerospace careers with a young and diverse audience. Why\nI Fly videos are shared on PBS digital media, the NAHF website and will be\navailable to visitors of the NAHF through an interactive kiosk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile NAHF plays an integral role in preserving the rich\nhistory of aviation in Ohio, it also offers valuable lessons for continuing\nOhio\u2019s tradition of pioneering innovation in flight,\u201d said Interim State\nSuperintendent of Public Instruction Stephanie Siddens. \u201cWe are fortunate that\nOhio students do not need to look far for inspiration in STEAM-related fields.\nNAHF is taking the initiative to bring our state\u2019s wealth of experience and\nresources together into a curriculum that makes STEAM accessible to a new\ngeneration of Ohio learners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The partnership with Ohio is made possible by the Governor\u2019s\nEmergency Education Relief Fund (GEER). The Coronavirus Response and Relief\nSupplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSA), was signed into law on Dec. 27,\n2021, and provides funding to combat pandemic-related learning loss and provide\na solution to aviation and aerospace workforce deficits. Delivered through\nprinted classroom curriculum guides, the NAHF website, social media, PBS Kids\nprogramming, and PBS Learning Media, and in the NAHF’s Heritage Hall and\nEducation Center (HHEC), Problem Solving with Will and Orv is designed to\nsupport teachers and inspire students both in and outside the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are grateful to the state of Ohio for its support\nof this bold initiative and honored to work with our content partners,\nThinkTV\/PBS and Hemlock Films, to develop a turn-key program that benefits\nelementary age students and supports teachers throughout our state,” said\nNAHF President and CEO, Amy Spowart. \u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a\nprofound impact on student learning and mental health and is widening existing\nopportunity and achievement gaps. Our program aims to address this,\nparticularly in under-resourced schools, and ignite the aviation and aerospace\nworkforce of tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
