The EAA AirVenture Museum is a great resource for learning and discovery, something many teachers have confirmed on previous visits to the facility, said Lee Siudzinski, Vice President of Education for the EAA Aviation Foundation. The challenge has been to develop programs that help young people understand the amazing story of flight and motivates them to discover more. That type of curiosity is the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. Through the Supersonic Learning Adventures, we ve brought together the key elements to make that happen. This activity features flying mysteries that must be solved through aviation-based math, science and history principles explored with the class.
Teams investigate the mysteries, then report their findings to the entire group.
A role-playing scenario based a fictitious relief mission. Small groups of students assume roles within the mission, using aviation principles to prepare and execute their humanitarian flight. Designed to accommodate groups of more than 40 students, this activity includes AirVenture Museum tours and hands-on opportunities that explore the science of flight. This overnight program includes elements of Operation Aviation, museum tours and accommodations in the EAA Air Academy Lodge. This annual parent-child experience has sessions for girls in April and boys in October.
