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.
Saturday 11/21 Exploration & Beyond
Campers will research, design, and build robotic models of habitats and create robotic space-themed simulations through programming in various robotic platforms. Space designers will build model rockets and model and test parachute landing systems to successfully land a probe on target.
Journey to Mars | 3-day
Mars is a rich destination for human exploration and discovery. Campers learn the basics of rocketry, discover coding, explore hands-on science activities and technology.
Mars Exploration | 3-day
Space inspires campers to head into the labs to discover what it takes to solve problems related to space exploration for this 3-day Martian challenge. Your junior engineer will be inspired to collaborate and find solutions to the complications of deep space exploration.
Mars Explorers | 3-day
Explore Mars’ surface and its climate through engineering challenges and science experiments. Campers discover Mars’ position in our Solar System and expand their knowledge of astronaut training, new technology, circuits, robotics, and rocketry for future exploration.
Saturday 12/19 Discovering Beyond Earth
Campers will research, design, and build rockets and robotic models. Participants learn about Deep Space Telescopes and experience an Electromagnetic Spectrum Wave demonstration. Complete the program by safely advancing a Rover through a maze representing a path on another celestial body and traveling the surface by doing a Planetary “Rock Hunt”.
Saturday 12/19 Discovering through Space
Campers discover constellations and their stars and learn how astronauts use stars to navigate space exploration. Building satellites teaches us about artificial satellites, their functions, and their importance to understanding nebulas and exoplanets then create a model of a nebula in a bottle to gain further insight and understanding of the topic of nebulas.
Beginner Bots | 3-day
Our young robot engineers learn how to design, build, and program robots in this 3-day adventure. Get creative with problem-solving techniques and coding skills by using robots and technology to overcome space-related challenges.
Engineering Basics | 3-day
Campers discover what it takes to solve problems related to space exploration. Taking “out of the box” and to new and exciting places, this 3-day camp gets your little builders using like never before. These engineers -in -training take on innovative problem-solving,, art projects, and robotics.
Robotic Exploration | 3-day
This Robotics camp is designed for young robotics enthusiasts. Using a variety robotic platforms and LEGOS, campers engage in immersive robotic challenges tied to space exploration. Through project-based robotic challenges, campers excelled in science, technology, engineering, and coding.
Exploration Basics | 3-day
Discover what it takes to launch a rocket to send people, supplies, and spacecraft beyond Earth’s atmosphere. During this adventure, campers will understand how to design and build rockets to reach their space travel destinations.
Junior Explorers | 3-day
The future explorers of Mars launch into deep space and learning about space early is the key to inspiring future generations of space explorers. This includes engineering, space exploration, robotics, rocketry, and space suit design for missions into deep space.
