The camp provides a unique opportunity for children to use professional telescopes for safe solar observation and engage in project-based learning led by engineers and scientists.
Edge on Science's Space Science camp offers a week of hands-on exploration into our solar system, galaxy, and beyond. Children engage in project-based learning, focusing on the scientific method to develop objectivity and critical thinking. Activities include assembling a telescope, safely viewing the Sun's features with a professional telescope, and modeling planets and eclipses to understand the solar system from a space perspective. Campers will also participate in fun challenges that foster teamwork and leadership skills, practice reading and following plans, and apply models and geometry to real-world problems, such as modeling a comet's orbit. The program aims to spark a lasting interest in science and engineering by allowing children to actively participate in experiments and discover their capabilities.
A typical day involves a mix of indoor and outdoor activities, including hands-on lab work, educational games, and challenges, with breaks for snacks and lunch.
This camp is ideal for curious middle school students (rising 5th-9th graders) who enjoy hands-on activities and want to explore space science and engineering in an engaging, project-based environment.
