International Women’s Air & Space Museum Celebrate First Woman In Space With Hands-On Activities
The International Women’s Air & Space Museum (IWASM) will be hosting Rocket Day on 16 Jun 2022 at the Burke Lakefront Airport, 1501 N Marginal Rd, Cleveland, OH. This event will celebrate the achievement of Valentina Tereshkova on being the first woman in space. Those ages 5-12 will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities, learning about the history of rockets, witness rocket launches, and make the Fizzy Flyers with plastic film canisters.
Thanks to COVID-19, this was yet another event that was postponed until we learned more and became better educated. Two sessions of actives will take place, one in the morning from 10:30am to 12:00pm EDT, and the afternoon session from 1:00pm to 2:30pm EDT. The museum in its news release stated that adults are required to stay to accompany their children. The author is reminded of a sign in a café, and you’ve likely encountered some variation to the effect “unattended children will be given an espresso and a free puppy.”
Early bird pricing is available, and you can check out the links below for details. Outside of the Rocket Day event, the museum exhibits are open 7-days a week from 08:00am-0800pm, whereas, the research center and giftshop are open Monday-Friday 10:00am-4:00pm. If you’re not able to attend but still want your young ones to participate in rocket building, the Civil Air Patrol has some freely available information as part of their Model Rocketry Program, and supplies may be obtained from Estes Supply, or any other reputable source.
