Chabot Space & Science Center offers a unique blend of indoor interactive exhibits, a planetarium, and outdoor activities within a regional park setting, providing a comprehensive and engaging STEM experience.
Chabot Space & Science Center Summer Camp offers immersive programs where campers explore astronomy, physics, and other scientific fields. Through interactive exhibits, planetarium shows, and hands-on activities, participants gain a deeper understanding of space and science. Activities may include simulating a rescue mission to Mars, using real tools to create high- and low-tech projects like sewable circuits and cardboard arcades, or designing stop-motion animation films about environmental care. Campers develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills while fostering a lasting fascination with STEM subjects. The camp utilizes Chabot's labs, classrooms, museum spaces, and the surrounding Redwood Regional Park for a dynamic learning environment.
A typical day involves starting in the planetarium theater for a video message, then splitting into grade levels to solve challenges, utilizing museum exhibit spaces, and engaging in outdoor activities in the neighboring park.
This camp is ideal for middle school students eager to engage with space and science through hands-on projects, interactive learning, and outdoor exploration.
