Campers engage in a creative and imaginative exploration of astronaut training, combining hands-on engineering challenges with inspiration drawn directly from the San Diego Air & Space Museum's exhibits.
Campers in "Astronauts in Training" blast off into the exciting world of space exploration, focusing on what it takes to become an astronaut. Through hands-on activities, participants build rockets and create spacesuits, engaging with the engineering design process to test and modify their creations. The curriculum also covers life off-planet, exploring lunar communities and next-generation rockets. Campers will discover space robotics and engage in imaginative, project-based learning, with ample opportunities to explore the San Diego Air & Space Museum and draw inspiration from its exhibits. The program aims to foster curiosity, creativity, and an understanding of STEM principles related to aviation and space.
A typical day involves hands-on projects like building rockets and designing spacesuits, combined with imaginative activities and exploration of the museum's exhibits for inspiration.
This camp is best for young explorers in grades 1-2 who are curious about space, enjoy hands-on science, and dream of becoming an astronaut.
