Campers will have the unique opportunity to host a family stargazing evening, applying their learned skills to guide guests in observing the night sky and sharing their astronomical discoveries.
Campers will immerse themselves in the world of astronomy, investigating the solar system and learning about the technology used to explore beyond Earth. Through hands-on activities, they will gain practical skills in building and utilizing simple observation tools and modeling planetary motion. The program emphasizes collaborative investigations, allowing students to work together on exciting projects. A key outcome of the camp is the preparation and hosting of a family stargazing evening, where campers will guide guests in observing celestial objects like the Moon and Venus, and share their newfound knowledge. This experience aims to connect astronomy to everyday life, including understanding time, seasons, and navigation.
A typical day involves hands-on investigations, building observation tools, modeling planetary motion, and exploring space technology.
This camp is best for middle school students entering grades 5-9 who are curious about space, enjoy hands-on learning, and want to explore the fundamentals of astronomy and space science.
