The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $190,000 Project Grant to the National Council for History Education, Inc. under the Promotion of the Humanities Professional Development program (CFDA 45.163). The grant will fund the "The Space Age on the Space Coast" initiative, which will provide two week-long residential workshops in July 2024 for 70 K-12 educators from across the country. The workshops will allow participants to explore landmarks associated with the origins of U.S. space exploration in Florida, including the Brevard Museum of History and Natural Science, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, and the Kennedy Space Center. Educators will engage with historians, education specialists, and astronauts to investigate how politics, science, and culture intersected during the Cold War era on the Space Coast and continue to do so today. The workshops aim to give meaning to America's scientific past through a focus on the human experience.
