Sessions (9)
Surviving Space
Campers simulate life on the Moon, design and build a model of a lunar space habitat, and send a mobile robot to investigate the Moon's surface.
Engineering Basics
Using LEGOS will take you to new and exciting places. This camp will have your junior builders doing engineering challenges and problem-solving solutions.
Training for Space
Campers learn about space exploration missions by designing mission patches, making next generation space suits, and completing astronaut training courses. Participants simulate how circuits are used to power the spacecraft and learn about aerodynamic design.
Lunar Robotics
Campers learn about operating, controlling, and accomplishing specific tasks with robots, and tour the Moon's terrain using robots to discover its rugged surface.
Moon Explorers (October 9, 2026)
Come join us for an evening of fun while campers see how robots work in real-life situations and guide robots accurately through simple tasks. Participants will understand how robots perform specific tasks and how problems are solved with sequencing, revise codes and complete coding challenges.
Robotic Explorers
Campers will learn how to design and build a robot and discover robots that use sensors to navigate and study the composition of other space objects. Campers will complete a robotic obstacle course and create a robot to perform certain tasks during this one-day adventure.
Further Beyond
Campers learn teamwork and communication for crew spaceflight, and as a team, develop, test, and measure a “solar sailing” model.
Traveling into Space
Campers complete an astronaut training course to learn different physical tasks, understand the basics of rockets, simulate rocketry with straw rockets, and place rockets into the correct trajectory.
Exploration Basics
Campers will engineer various objects based on challenges listed on Lego cards, build their own Lego creation, and design a rocket with a nose cone, body tube, and stabilizing fins. During this one-day, participants will build canister rockets and use an air compressor to launch the rocket and build a shock absorbing system that protects two astronauts when they land on the Moon and on Mars.
