Explore science, history and aviation!
Join us for an exciting year of hands-on learning at the Military Aviation Museum! Our Homeschool Days provide students ages 7-9 and 10-12 with the opportunity to explore aviation, history, and STEM through interactive lessons and activities. Each session lasts four hours, including a 30-minute lunch break, and features engaging, age-appropriate experiences designed to make learning both fun and meaningful.
Homeschool Days are drop-off programs, from 10:00am - 2:00pm. Pre-registration is required and attendance is capped at 15 participants. Lunch is not provided, and we do ask that all students be dropped off with a packed lunch. There is no on-site cafe option at the Museum.
March 4th - Ages 7-9 | March 11th - Ages 10-12
Codebreakers of WWII
Step into the world of secret messages and hidden codes! In this hands-on session, students will explore how cryptography shaped military intelligence during WWII. They’ll decode encrypted messages using real WWII-era ciphers, uncover the secrets of the Enigma machine, and embark on a spy mission inspired by the legendary codebreakers of Bletchley Park. Along the way, they’ll discover how breaking codes helped turn the tide of the war!
Highlights:
✔ Solve secret messages using real WWII-era ciphers
✔ Learn how the Enigma machine worked and why it was so important
✔ Participate in a Bletchley Park spy mission to crack hidden codes
April 1st - Ages 10-12 | April 8th - Ages 10 - 12
Heroes of WWII
Meet the pilots, engineers, and aircraft that defined WWII! This session takes students on an up-close exploration of historic warplanes, where they’ll learn about the aviation heroes who flew them. Through interactive activities, students will train like WWII pilots, navigate using maps and charts, and dive into the technology that made these aircraft so powerful. It’s an unforgettable journey into the past, where history and aviation come to life!

✔ Tour real WWII aircraft up close and learn about their roles in battle
✔ Explore WWII aviation technology and navigation techniques
✔ Learn how pilots used maps and charts to plan and execute missions
May 6th - Ages 7-9 | May 13th - Ages 10 -12
The Science of Flight!
Why do airplanes fly? In this hands-on STEM session, students will discover the forces of flight—lift, drag, thrust, and gravity—through exciting experiments and activities. They’ll explore Bernoulli’s Principle, design and test their own gliders, and watch wind tunnel demonstrations to see aerodynamics in action. Get ready to experiment, build, and test like a real aerospace engineer!
Highlights:
✔ Experiment with the physics of flight through fun, hands-on activities
✔ Discover how forces like lift, drag, and thrust keep planes in the air
✔ Design and test your own gliders in an exciting engineering challenge
Ages 7 - 9 | Ages 10-12
