STEM
STEM in 30: WWII and Tuskegee Airmen
Before 1941, there were no African American pilots in the United States armed forces. When it became imminent that the United States would enter World War II, the U.S. Army Air Corps began to offer training to African Americans as pilots and mechanics. Called the Tuskegee Airmen because they trained in Tuskegee, Alabama, these airmen made a pioneering contribution to the war and the subsequent drive to end racial segregation in the American military. This episode looks at the role African Americans played during the war and how World War II changed aviation history. Grade Level: Middle School

SCIENCE AND NATURE

With their probing paws and destructive behavior, the raccoon has gained a reputation as a garbage bandit, capable of finding a meal in any urban landscape. As part of a multi-year study exploring the cognition of raccoons, researchers are pushing the limits of the species’ learning by providing both captivity and street-dwelling specimens with a variety of tests.
