The International Women’s Air & Space Museum (IWASM) will host a FREE teacher workshop on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. Teachers interested in learning about exciting primary and secondary sources, activities, and experience sample lessons developed by the IWASM team to use in the classroom are encouraged to register.

Women’s lasting impact permeates every facet of our collective history and the arts. Lesser-known roles of Katharine Wright, Cleveland’s own NACA site as far back as 1915 (the predecessor to NASA), the Curtiss-Wright Cadettes, and so many more are integral to understanding where we’ve come and where we will go in the future as a state and a nation. The workshop is made possible with grant support from the America 250-Ohio Commission, the Ohio Humanities, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
