Description:
An out-of-this-world adventure! Campers learn about rocket design, then build and launch their own rockets. In our space labs, plan a trip to another galaxy, engineer space habitats, and tour the universe using planetarium software as campers learn about galaxies, nebulae, supernovas, and stars. As space explorers, campers launch into the field of astronomy and aerospace engineering, designing and building model satellites, investigating planetary geology, and experimenting with rocket science as they build and launch rockets. With Kerbal Space Program, we'll explore the physics and engineering of space flight with rockets, then build and launch our vehicles in this exciting simulation.
Computing Lab: Kerbal Space Program for the older campers (~ages 9 -12). Because of the complexity of Kerbal, our younger campers (~ages 6-8) will build and program using LEGO SPIKE Prime robotics to create Star Wars inspired robots. Students will also have one virtual reality lab during the week.
