Geraldine “Jerrie” Mock #WomenInSTEM #GirlsInSTEM In 1964 Geraldine “Jerrie” Mock became the first woman to fly solo around the world. Her flight took 29 days and was completed April 17, 1964. According to her obituary, Mock thought her flight was no big deal. She said she did it mostly “to have fun.” Although she enjoyed flying, she obviously took it seriously, too–she did, after all, live to the age of 88. When she did her around-the-world flight, she was a full-time mother of three children and had been a licensed pilot for only seven years. During her famous flight she once had to land in Saudi Arabia. After she exited the plane, the crowd waited for a man (the pilot) to come out, too. When no man emerged, they realized she was the pilot and many cheered. Her plane, the Spirit of Columbus, is in a museum in Chantilly, Virginia.

Academics in a Box Inc. was founded to inspire in students a desire to learn more about the sciences and humanities. Our products aim to allow students a new way to experience the beauty, poetry, and wonder of our universe through hands-on experience. Our foundation is based on the ideas that by “doing” and “experiencing,” students are more motivated to become inquisitive about the world around them. It’s this curiosity and creative thinking that are at the heart of developing a love of learning. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is used as a guide to ensure that our products supplement the learning that takes place in the classroom. We aim to take students beyond simple memorization of facts and figures by helping them gain a better understanding of significant science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) practice and application, as well as gain a deeper appreciation of the materials they are presented with.
