The camp offers a unique opportunity to explore the science of flight through building and testing flying machines, fostering creativity and problem-solving in a hands-on environment.
Campers in the SciTech - Flight & Aerodynamics Camp explore the fundamental principles of flight and aerodynamics through a variety of hands-on activities and exciting discoveries. They learn about concepts such as lift, weight, drag, and thrust by building and testing their own flying machines. The camp emphasizes an iterative design process, encouraging campers to test, tweak, and modify their creations to improve performance. Through these engaging projects, young scientists and engineers develop creativity, problem-solving skills, and a deeper understanding of aerospace concepts.
A typical day balances hands-on experiments, activities, and crafts with age-appropriate breaks, playtime, and STEAM-themed games. Older campers generally have a 'Brain Break' per hour of instruction, along with a 30-minute lunch and 30-minute museum exploration time.
This camp is ideal for curious young minds aged 3-12 who are excited about aviation and space, and eager to engage in hands-on STEM exploration.
