Intrepid Sails brings the Intrepid Museum to K-12th grade students. Programs are led by Museum Educators and include a presentation about life onboard Intrepid and an activity that is both hands-on and applies problem solving skills. Topics cover geography and code breaking and focus on the history of  the Intrepid, including its ports of call around the globe.  Students have the opportunity to decipher secret codes and create their own secret messages.
 
A maximum of three (3), 45-minute in-class sessions are available per school/per reservation and are available Monday-Friday both during and after school hours.

Students of all ages can visit Intrepid from the comfort of their classrooms or learning centers to study social studies, science and American History. Distance learning programs called Virtual Investigations are 45-60 minute sessions conducted over the internet on a secure network. Participants examine artifacts, hear oral and written histories of the veterans of the USS Intrepid and conduct experiments to discover the physics of aircraft flight.

The Intrepid has developed a number of pre- and post-visit materials for teachers and informal educators to use in conjunction with a visit to their classroom, library or community center by Intrepid Educators. We offer materials on the subjects of water, aviation and space science as well as activities with a social studies focus. Vocabulary, fun facts about the Museum, timelines and images from the Museum’s collections are incorporated. All resources can be downloaded in PDF format and printed for your use.
