Students gain practical experience by designing, simulating, building, testing, and flying their own take-home model rockets with a low student-to-teacher ratio.
Students at the Edge on Science Summer Rocket Blast Off camp will engage in hands-on aerospace engineering activities. They will learn about the components of a rocket and the principles of flight. Working with a buddy, campers will design, build, and test their own take-home model rockets under the guidance of an instructor. The program also includes constructing and flying water rockets in various configurations. Participants will examine a model of the Nike Smoke sounding rocket and utilize computer simulations to optimize solid fuel quantities. The week culminates in a rocket launch event for family and friends. Through these activities, students will develop skills in design, problem-solving, building, simulating, testing, and teamwork, gaining practical experience in real-world rocket science.
A typical day involves learning about rocket components, designing and building rockets with a buddy, running computer simulations, and engaging in hands-on STEM activities, games, and competitions.
This camp is best for children who are inspired by space exploration and enjoy hands-on challenges in science and engineering.
