Flat Ike

Program Length: 50

Inspired by the popular Flat Stanley movement, this engaging program introduces students to several historical and geographical concepts related to Dwight D. Eisenhower and his legacy. Participants will learn about the symbolism of the Great Seal of the United States, the significance of Eisenhower’s iconic Ike Jacket, and the basics of map reading. As they tour the Eisenhower Presidential campus, students will create their own Flat Ike figure and take photos in various locations, resulting in a personalized souvenir that connects them to the history they’ve explored during their visit.
