The camp provides a dynamic, hands-on learning environment where campers can explore the science of motion and engineering new designs in a supportive and creative atmosphere.
SciTech Summer Camp - Flight & Aerodynamics offers campers aged 3-12 an engaging exploration into the principles of flight and aerodynamics through hands-on STEM activities. Participants will build confidence, collaborate with peers, and develop real-world problem-solving skills in a supportive environment that celebrates curiosity and creativity. The camp focuses on interactive projects where students can build, test, and explore science and engineering concepts related to flight. Activities may include designing and testing various flying objects, understanding the forces of flight (lift, drag, thrust, gravity), and exploring how aircraft, drones, and even birds utilize these principles. The program aims to spark curiosity and excitement, laying a foundation for future STEM learning and helping students see themselves as capable problem-solvers and innovators in the field of aviation.
A typical day balances hands-on experiments, activities, and crafts with age-appropriate breaks, playtime, and STEAM-themed games. Older campers may have a "Brain Break" per hour of instruction, along with a lunch break and museum exploration time, while younger students will have more frequent breaks.
This camp is best for curious children aged 3-12 who enjoy hands-on activities and are interested in how things fly, from paper airplanes to drones.
