This hands-on Mad Science program offers a unique blend of practical flight experiences, like riding a hovercraft, with explorations of distant galaxies.
Campers delve into the fundamental principles of flight through engaging, hands-on activities. They will have the unique opportunity to ride a hovercraft, gaining a practical understanding of air cushion technology. The program also involves building various flying machines, including airplanes and balloon copters, fostering an understanding of aerodynamics and engineering. Beyond Earth, participants will embark on a journey through outer space, exploring distant galaxies and learning about our own Milky Way. This Mad Science program aims to teach children about the world above us, combining scientific exploration with creative construction to develop an appreciation for aerospace concepts.
A typical day involves hands-on experiments and building projects related to flight and space, such as constructing airplanes and balloon copters, and learning about aerodynamics.
This camp is ideal for elementary school-aged children (6-11 years old) who are curious about how things fly and interested in exploring outer space.
