The two workshops funded by this grant, which will take place from July 11-15, 2022 and July 25-29, 2022, will focus on the unique history and culture of Florida's Space Coast. This project will allow K-12 educators of multiple disciplines from around the country explore the ways in which the politics, science, and culture intersected in a unique geographical location from the 1950's through today. 

One of the benefits of this grant is the ability to share resources pertaining to The Space Race on the Space Coast with educators through our website. With the links below, educators are invited to examine sources and materials that can be implemented in K-12 classrooms to engage students in authentic historical inquiry.

The Landmarks of American History and Culture program supports a series of one-week workshops for K-12 educators across the nation to enhance and strengthen humanities teaching at the K-12 level. Projects employ a place-based approach and are designed to offer educators a unique and compelling opportunity to deepen and expand their knowledge of the diverse histories, cultures, traditions, languages, and perspectives of the American people.
