Who were the amazing brothers who are credited with inventing the first successful airplane? 
In this class, we will learn about the Wright Brothers using the book by James Buckley JR., "Who Were The Wright Brothers?". We will explore their childhood and take a look at that toy helicopter that inspired them, why their bicycle shop was so unique for it's time, their printing press, and even meet their sister, Katherine, who helped them with it all. We will learn about the reaction from the world when they first flew, who believed it and who didn't, and how they became international celebrities and inspired people to fly around the world. 

This class will be taught through recorded lectures and may also include supplemental videos (Youtube), readings, worksheets, and activities (recipes, movies, dioramas, experiments, etc.). Please see the syllabus below for a layout of the lessons included in this course.
