Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum Must Raise $1 Million To Earn The Matching Funds
The Ray Foundation (Naples, Florida) recently awarded Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum a $1 million challenge grant to develop a new educational resource for Hawaii Youth - a Learning Lab using the exciting field of aviation and aerospace to advance interest and competency in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). The proposed Learning Lab will be located on Ford Island as part of the current museum campus.
“Our vision is to advance education and leadership opportunities for students in Hawaii by creating a Learning Lab. Working with our Navy partners, an existing WWII pilot training building, adjacent to the historic Ford Island Control Tower, will be renovated and converted into a modern-day center for young people.Source: Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum Executive Director Elissa Lines.
