To commemorate the 75th anniversary of VE Day, STEM in 30 will take a look at how the airplane contributed to the Allied victory over the Axis powers in World War II. In this episode, we will feature collections and stories from the World War II Museum in New Orleans and will showcase students’ interviews with veterans. The program will offer tips and resources on how your students can conduct their own interviews with the veterans in their lives.
Gather your questions and tune in for a live chat about the episode at our Mission Debrief on May 7 at 1 pm EDT.
