THE
AIR FORCE ONE DISCOVERY CENTER AT THE RONALD REAGAN PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY
The
Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation is a non-profit, non-partisan
organization that sustains the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum,
the Center for Public Affairs, the Walter and Leonore Annenberg Presidential
Learning Center, and Air Force One Pavilion. Located in Simi Valley,
California, the Reagan Library houses over 55 million pages of
gubernatorial, presidential and personal papers, and the Museum is home to more
than 40,000 gifts and artifacts chronicling the life and legacy of Ronald and
Nancy Reagan. It now serves as the final resting place of America’s
40th President.
The Air Force One Discovery
Center is an immersive, educational experience designed to inspire the next
generation of student leaders. The Discovery Center allows students to
experience the responsibilities and challenges faced by the Executive Branch,
military, and media. While visiting the Discovery Center, students will
have the opportunity to historically role play in a realistic, interactive
environment. The historical scenario centers on the military action taken
on the island of Grenada in October of 1983. Students become advisors to
the President, top level military officials, members of the White House Press
Corps, or even President Reagan! Along with a combination of pre-visit
curriculum materials and post-visit activities, students will practice and
improve their critical thinking and decision-making skills.
