Campers design and build their own rovers and landing gear to tackle an asteroid of their choice, testing their inventions like real space engineers.
In the Asteroid Adventures camp, 3rd and 4th graders embark on an out-of-this-world journey through the Solar System to explore the asteroid belt. Campers will gain knowledge about asteroid surfaces and the engineering challenges associated with landing on them. They will utilize creativity and engineering skills to design and construct their own rovers and landing gear, which they will then use to tackle a chosen asteroid. Throughout the program, participants will uncover secrets of our Solar System and test their inventions, much like real space engineers. The camp aims to inspire interest in STEM fields by providing access to various science disciplines and interactive exhibits at the Lawrence Hall of Science.
A typical day involves check-in and an opening circle, followed by morning camp content exploration activities, snack time at the Outdoor Nature Lab, and a fun group activity. After lunch and outdoor break time, campers engage in afternoon content exploration, another snack break, and science center exhibit activities, concluding with a closing circle and pick-up.
This camp is perfect for kids who love astronomy, building, and big adventures.
