Editorial ITA Education Committee Sponsors ‘STEM in 30’ Smithsonian Air & Space Museum Webcast Featuring Expert Commentary from Stanley Seagle Stanley Seagle, a lifelong executive in the titanium industry, was a featured guest on the “STEM in 30” webcast, produced by the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, Washington D.C., which aired on March 16th. The Education Committee of the International Titanium Association (ITA), sponsored the webcast, which was seen on the Smithsonian museum’s website (http://airandspace.si.edu/explore-and-learn/stemin-30) and the NASA website (http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv). Behind the Scenes during STEM in 30. Stanley Seagle talks to group of students from Farmwell Station Middle School, Ashburn, VA. ITA, headquartered in Denver, Colorado, is a strong advocate of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education and workforce development. The STEM education movement has gained traction in the United States in recent years—a curriculum designed to cultivate students, female and male, in the skills needed for 21st century advanced manufacturing and engineering fields. Marty Kelsey and Beth Wilson, education specialists of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum, served as program hosts— fielding questions from students and online viewers and interviewing program guests. Wilson said the idea for the webcast was hatched by Smithsonian about 18 months ago as a way to reach students “and make science fun.” Wilson, who has worked at Smithsonian for 11 years, said the STEM in 30 webinar grew out of her “point to point” interactive video conferencing outreach efforts with individual schools and classrooms throughout the United States. “The goal (for STEM in 30) was to take that concept and reach a wider audience,” Wilson said. Given the advances in online communication technology in recent years, Smithsonian determined that a webcast was the best way to connect with its target audience: middle school and high school students. Wilson added that, early on, the decision was made to do the webcast as a real-time broadcast, taped in front of a live audience, from the floor of the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA, a companion museum facility to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum located in downtown Washington D.C. “The show was challenging and unique,” Wilson said. “People are always interested to see things in a museum.” Besides one SR-71, the Chantilly center, with its enormous hangar space, displays the Concorde passenger jet, the Space Shuttle Discovery, and the Boeing B-29 Enola Gay. Wilson singled out Seagle as “a real benefit to the webcast. He was very knowledgeable and very helpful.” In particular, Wilson said she enjoyed Stan’s “show and tell” objects he brought with him: metal rods of different lengths that visually demonstrated the differences between steel, aluminum and titanium. The bar donations were provided by ITA Member, Service Steel Aerospace. The March 16 webcast was the first of several episodes planned by the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum, and featured a profile of the legendary Lockheed Blackbird SR-71 Mach 3+ reconnaissance aircraft. Built of titanium, the futuristic SR-71 Blackbird is the world’s fastest jetpropelled aircraft. It was operated by the U.S. Air Force and designed as a longrange reconnaissance aircraft with a top speed in excess of 2,000 miles per hour and a range of more than 3,000 miles and was made of a titanium alloy. The SR-71 Blackbird’s performance and operational achievements placed it at the pinnacle of aviation technology developments during the height of the Cold War. The plane was unveiled in 1966 and was in service until 1999, when it was retired for budgetary reasons. During the program, Kelsey and Wilson said that 32 SR-71s were built; 12 were lost over 28 TITANIUMTODAY
