Learning Institute: Astronautics Camp

Astronautics Grades 4-9
Session 3

This camp combines hands-on fun with an exciting introduction to the scientific fundamentals of astronautics. Campers learn the historical origins of space flight, and its important figures. Campers will explore Newton's laws of motion, the principle of conservation of momentum, and simple kinematics through experimentation. Additionally, the basics of model rocket construction, safety and flight will covered. Campers will be introduced to an elementary, computer-based, soda bottle flight simulator provided by NASA. Math and science are used in a very fun way, with the academic skills campers already have being used in an exciting, real-world application - to design, build, and fly their own model rockets. Equipment required.



Note: There is a $50 surcharge per two-week session for additional materials and staff requirements for each video game specialty offered
