Dr. Lynda Kennedy is the Vice President of Education and Evaluation. She leads educational initiatives in one of the most historically rich aerospace museums in the world… the Intrepid in New York City.
Lynda oversees a broad range of programs aimed at connecting diverse audiences with the technological marvels and historical significance of the Intrepid's collection, from K-12 field trips to veteran programs.
In this episode, Lynda shares her story into formal education and the complexities and rewards of her work. Not least, bringing space and science closer to people from all walks of life. You’ll hear about the educational strategies that make science accessible and engaging, and how the museum's unique exhibits, like the space shuttle Enterprise, serve as perfect backdrops for learning and inspiration.
In this episode, you'll discover:
· How Lynda transitioned from an arts-focused education to leading museum educational programs.
· The role of museums in bridging the gap between historical artifacts and modern science education.
· The impact of hands-on, experiential learning in fostering a diverse new generation of scientists and engineers.
· Strategies for inclusive education that accommodates learners of all ages and abilities.
· The importance of interdisciplinary approaches that include arts in STEM education (STEAM).
Quote:
"Every time I approach the ship and I realize I am going to my office on a 1943 aircraft carrier, it makes me smile. Sitting underneath the space shuttle, it's literally right above us. I can go up the steps and there it is. Who gets to say that?"
