Welcome To Astronautics Camp 2012
For Girls and Boys Entering Grades 4-9
Session 3: July 30 - August 10
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 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 are covered. Campers are introduced to an elementary, computer-based, soda bottle flight simulator provided by NASA. Building on the academic skills campers already have, math and science are used in exciting, real-world applications – to design, construct, and fly their own model rockets.
Note: There is a $50 surcharge per session for additional materials and staff requirements.
