The Cold War through the Collections of the Intrepid Museum
A two-week institute
for 25 K-12 educators on the history and technology of the Cold War era.
The Intrepid Museum Foundation is respectfully
requesting a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support a
two-week Institute for educators, examining the history, experience and legacy
of Cold War technology through the use of two historic sites—the former U.S.
aircraft carrier Intrepid, a National Historic Landmark, and the former U.S.
submarine, Growler, a unique artifact that represents the technology and
tensions of the Cold War. The Institute
will immerse teachers in scholarly historical research as well as the history,
artifacts and oral histories in the Museum’s collection that embody the Cold
War era. Integrating content exploring the historical context of technological
innovation, the Institute will serve a national group of 25 high school history
and science teachers in order to deepen their understanding and increase
confidence in their ability to explore the subject thoroughly, critically and
engagingly with their students.
