| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | AirSpace Minnesota is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit collaborative formed to honor and grow the region's innovation legacy. Using the unique power of flight to ignite imaginations, AirSpace Minnesota partners work together to: COMMEMORATE: Honor those who build and serve. EDUCATE: Learn from the past and prepare for the future. INNOVATE: Showcase people and ideas at work. Every learner needs sufficient motivation to work hard and persevere, skills necessary to progress, and a continuum of support leading to post-secondary education, training and careers. According to Wilder Research, nearly 60 percent of Minnesota's 4th graders express a high interest in science, but by high school, only 4 percent of graduates are interested in, and prepared for, STEM*-related pursuits (*science, technology, engineering & mathematics). Programming related to the past, present and future of flight has a remarkable power to engage interest. This content provides an ideal platform to inspire learners through engaging exhibits and stories of extraordinary role models; to expand the future skilled workforce through hands-on STEM-based learning opportunities; and to demonstrate STEM in action by showcasing individuals, organizations and pathways to success. The AirSpace Minnesota board of directors reflects the breadth of organizations with a connection to flight and includes these nonprofit heritage partners: Minnesota Air National Guard Historical Foundation, Minnesota Aviation Hall of Fame, Minnesota Aviation History & Education Center, Minnesota Submarine League and the NWA History Centre. AirSpace Minnesota was created in 2012 to address the critical need to celebrate the region's extraordinary innovation legacy and to provide a home for the heritage partners, which each lack adequate facilities and resources to preserve and share their priceless stories and artifacts. The vision is to establish an air and space learning campus adjacent to MSP International Airport on the Upper Post of Fort Snelling. Cited as a signature project in the Fort Snelling Light Rail Transit and Upper Post Master Plan, this initiative can provide a major catalyst in the critically needed revitalization of one of the state's most historically significant sites and create a new regional economic asset, drawing visitors from near and far. Proximity to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport - the gateway to the region - provides amazing access to out-of-state visitors and convenience for state and regional residents. Direct access to the airport also will enable special fly-in assets to be shared with the public. This showcase of innovation will significantly strengthen the area's unique hub of visitor attractions and economic activity, which includes Historic Fort Snelling and the Fort Snelling State Park, where the mighty Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers come together. This center would provide a showcase for many regional innovation stories including: - In 1920 Captain Ray Miller and Lt. Col. William Garis traveled for eight days from St. Paul to Washington, D.C. to successfully lobby for the 1st National Guard aviation unit. - Northwest Airways took off in 1926 with a couple of rented biplanes and in less than a year flew the nation's first closed-cabin commercial plane. - 3M's ongoing role in air & space exploration has ranged from the Scotch tape on Dr. Jean Piccard's 1936 balloon to Neil Armstrong's space boots on the moon. - Pressure suits, G-suits and oxygen systems have been tested and improved for decades by Mayo Clinic, helping people survive and flourish in new environments. - The electric autopilot developed by Honeywell during WWII saved countless U.S. lives and helped launch Honeywell's status as a global avionics leader. - From air to ground radio communications to satellite-based TV broadcasting, Hubbard Broadcasting has been a technology leader in news gathering and dissemination. - The black box flight recorder, astronaut food sticks, balloon research in upper atmosphere exploration and the Alvin submarine are all part of General Mills' remarkable innovation story. - Launched by U of M research, the Sensors & Integrated Systems business of United Technologies Corporation in Burnsville is home to world-leading sensor technology. - Cirrus Aircraft has revolutionized general aviation through composite materials, innovative displays, the first whole-plane parachute - developed by Minnesota's own BRS Aerospace - and a new class of aircraft, the Cirrus Vision SF50, a personal jet. STEM education experiences will include new contributions to the regional STEM pathway including the Aviation Learning Center from the renowned Museum of Flight in Seattle. Cirrus Aircraft has taken the lead on this effort by committing one of the central components: An SR22 plane valued at $300,000. To build the capacity for this vision, AirSpace Minnesota has benefited from Minnesota Historical & Cultural grants to facilitate a formal partnership among the heritage institutions, establish common collections policies and procedures, build an Innovation Timeline, and develop a master interpretive plan to establish decision-making protocols for next-stage development. Near-term (1 - 2 years) program priorities continue to lay the groundwork for the long-term vision while developing initiatives to increase public access through the following efforts. Inspiring Stories: Pathfinders in History Chronicle and preserve innovation stories and artifacts of individuals and institutions, capturing important voices from WWII, the development of the manned space program and much more. - Launch the Pathfinders Video and Speaker Series. - Work with tpt to produce the Minnesota to the Moon documentary honoring Minnesota native Dr. Robert Gilruth, Father of America's Human Space Flight program. - Secure the sail and key artifacts from the USS Minneapolis-St. Paul submarine before demolition (scheduled for 2017). Communicate Innovation Timeline highlights through media & events. - Create exhibits featuring Innovation Milestones. - Plan for the 2021 Centennial Celebration of the 1st federally recognized Air Guard unit. STEM Workforce: Pathways to Participation Develop STEM programs that achieve growth objectives with K-12 students, especially underrepresented groups. - October 6-7, 2016: Host the Regional STEM Workforce Call to Action Forum with state & national leaders. Disseminate the Pathways Poster to schools and youth groups throughout Minnesota to build awareness of education and career opportunities. - Build online Pathways resources. Create tools for volunteers to use in school visits and worksite tours. - Develop a statewide volunteer network of adults and college students. - Showcase stories of today's innovators. - Connect practitioners via live and virtual experiences. |
