The camp offers a unique blend of hands-on activities, from building and launching rockets to riding a hovercraft, providing an engaging and interactive learning experience in aviation and space science.
Mad Science of the Bay Area's Flight Academy offers an exciting, hands-on exploration of the principles of flight and space. Campers will delve into the fundamentals of aerodynamics, from early flying machines to modern rockets. Activities include building and launching model rockets, experimenting with water rockets, and designing various paper airplanes, kites, space copters, Frisbees, and boomerangs. The program also covers Newton's three laws of motion and the forces of gravity, explaining how these principles enable stable flight and space travel. Additionally, campers will embark on an imaginary planetary tour, learning about celestial navigation and exploring the Milky Way galaxy and distant celestial bodies. The camp emphasizes interactive experiments and engineering challenges, allowing children to gain practical experience and a deeper understanding of aviation and space science.
A typical day involves hands-on experiments related to flight and space, such as building and launching rockets, designing flying machines, and exploring concepts like aerodynamics and gravity through interactive activities and demonstrations.
This camp is best for elementary-aged children who are curious about how things fly, interested in space, and enjoy hands-on science experiments and engineering challenges.
