WOW! on Wheels
Children’s Literature and Classroom DVDs are available. Please for a complete list of options.
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.

WOW! in the Classroom kits can be borrowed. You’ll receive everything you need to replicate the exact lesson that our Wizards would present through WOW! in the Classroom. This will give you the freedom to present it yourself or through our videos on your own time schedule.
- Our kit includes the WOW! lesson plan and all necessary materials.
-
Materials will be delivered on Tuesday and picked up on Thursday of the following week.
Please see our WOW! in the Classroom page for all available demos and important information about each one.
