Campers get to design, build, and test a wide array of flying creations, gaining practical experience with aerospace principles.
Aero Makers camp provides an immersive experience where campers design, build, and test a variety of flying creations, including kites, planes, rockets, and hovercrafts. Through hands-on activities, participants experiment with fundamental principles of physics, gravity, and motion. Campers will explore topics such as the solar system by building a planisphere and creating a sundial. They will learn about the history of flight by constructing rubber band-powered planes and experimenting with wind tunnels. The camp also delves into Newton's laws of motion through activities like making inertia sticks and defying gravity with miniature hovercrafts and balloon-powered helicopters. Participants will gain practical engineering skills and a deeper understanding of aerospace concepts.
A typical day involves hands-on activities where campers design, build, and test various flying creations, interspersed with active games that reinforce scientific concepts.
This camp is ideal for elementary-aged students (K-6th grade) who are curious about how things fly and enjoy hands-on building and experimentation.
