Hello homeschool parents and educators!
The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is offering a new program called Homeschool on the Hudson—a three-session course exclusively for homeschool students ages 8 to 12. Each course will meet for two and a half hours once a week, over a period of three weeks. During the course, students will explore one topic deeply.
Registration will open in late March.

High Flying Mathematics
Course Description:
Engineers must have a strong understanding of physics and mathematics to design aircraft that push the boundaries of what is possible and impossible. This course will prepare students to examine aircraft with a keen eye. As they experiment with foam gliders and explore the Museum’s aircraft collection, students will be encouraged to be curious about the design process and to think critically about how an aircraft’s features, especially wing shape, relate to its performance and mission. Students will also be encouraged to fail, get frustrated and try again, adjusting their understanding of how aircraft work along the way.
Class size:
Courses are limited to 10 students. There will be two staff members present for each cohort of 10 students.
Time:
October 15, 22 and 29, 10:00am–12:30pm
Cost:
$150 for the full three-session course.

*This program does have limited capacity so we may not be able to accommodate all interested homeschool students. |
