The WOW! on Wheels flight offers materials for teachers to borrow for their classroom use. Teachers can borrow the kit for any of our WOW! in the Classroom lessons to present the lesson themselves. Lesson plan, handouts, and materials included. Teachers can also borrow STEM equipment to use in their own lessons.
Delivery of materials is limited to a 35-mile radius of WPAFB; although accommodations can sometimes be made.
