Garden City,
NY- The Pan Am Museum Foundation (www.thepanammuseum.org) is seeking experienced STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering and Math) teachers to create original, rigorous, and
relevant STEM lesson plans for use by the PAMF Education/STEM initiative.
The
Foundation is seeking middle and high school level STEM lesson plans that
conform to Next Generation Science Standards and/or Common Core Math Standards.
Lessons that relate to aerodynamics, aeronautics, mechanical design and related
topics are preferred. Lessons should be of a nature that would be utilized in most
classroom settings and address topics/formulas that teachers would find useful.
Collaboration with the museum’s Educational Programming Director will ensure the
plan fits into the program’s lesson plan template and relevance to Pan Am
history.
Lessons will
be provided free of charge for use by teachers, students and parents through
our physical location, website and education blog. Plan authors will be
credited.
The Pan Am
Museum Foundation is offering a stipend of $100
for each completed lesson.

Museum Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by a group of former
Pan Am employees in 2015 with the goal of creating a permanent museum dedicated
to preserving the history of Pan Am and educating children and young adults in
the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). The Foundation
is currently building a four-part exhibit at the Cradle of Aviation Air and
Space Museum in Garden City, New York. The first part of the exhibit, "The
Boeing 314: An Extraordinary Story" premiered at our inaugural gala on
December 3, 2016. The ribbon cutting was performed by Ed Trippe, son of Pan
Am's founder Juan Trippe.
