Students gain practical experience in aerospace engineering by building and launching their own model rockets.
Students participating in the Hobbies: Rocketry - Rocketeers camp will engage in hands-on activities focused on model rocketry. They will learn the fundamental principles of rocketry, including aerodynamics and propulsion, as they assemble and paint their own rockets. The culmination of the camp involves launching their custom-built rockets, providing a practical application of the concepts learned. This immersive experience aims to inspire an interest in aerospace engineering and STEM fields through direct involvement in the design, construction, and flight of model rockets.
A typical day involves designing, assembling, and painting model rockets, with a focus on understanding the science behind their flight. The week culminates in the exciting launch of the rockets built by the students.
This camp is ideal for middle school students who are curious about how things fly, enjoy hands-on building, and have an interest in space and aviation.
