The camp offers a truly hands-on engineering experience where kids use real tools and materials to design, build, and improve flying objects.
In The Works Museum's Flight & Rocketry camp, elementary-aged campers investigate the principles of flight and propulsion through hands-on engineering challenges. Campers actively design, build, and test various flying objects, including hovercrafts, flying saucers, and rockets. The curriculum emphasizes the engineering design process, encouraging students to explore materials, plan their designs, create prototypes, test them, and then iterate to improve their creations. This approach helps children develop problem-solving skills, persistence, and creative thinking. The camp aims to spark curiosity in STEM fields by providing tangible experiences with real tools and materials, fostering confidence and an interest in further STEM education.
A typical day involves hands-on engineering challenges where campers explore materials, design and build prototypes, test their creations, and then refine their designs.
This camp is ideal for elementary-aged students who are curious about how things fly and enjoy hands-on building and problem-solving.
