The camp offers a unique blend of hands-on rocket building, flight mechanics, and simulated space missions, providing a comprehensive introduction to aerospace engineering.
The Works Museum's Space Mission / Flight & Propulsion camp offers children an immersive experience in aerospace engineering. Campers will engage in hands-on activities such as building and testing simple rockets to understand the fundamental principles of flight and propulsion. The curriculum also delves into what it takes to live in space, preparing participants for simulated space missions where they will construct essential survival items. Through these challenges, children develop problem-solving skills, learn about the engineering design process, and cultivate creativity and persistence. The camp aims to inspire the next generation of innovators by providing a fun and interactive environment to explore science and engineering concepts.
A typical day involves hands-on engineering challenges, building and testing projects like rockets, and participating in simulated space missions. Campers also engage in museum exploration and outdoor games.
This camp is best for curious middle school students (ages 6-12) who are interested in science, engineering, flight, and space exploration, and enjoy hands-on building and problem-solving.
