Throughout the history of aviation and space exploration, women have fought to be on equal terms with their male counterparts. At this family day, enjoy learning about the significant contributions women have made despite the many challenges they faced. The day will feature presentations by women in the field, hands-on activities, and stories.
Family Day volunteers help by staffing activity stations. Our activities are designed to reinforce the day’s theme and help visitors explore Museum’s collection. Volunteers assist visitors in activities that range from arts and crafts to more complex STEM related activity. For example, volunteers will help visitors make "Jet Packs", turning recyclables into their vision of a vehicle for space travel, and much more. Our goal is to spark interest in lifelong learning about aviation and space exploration.
