The camp offers a unique opportunity to explore aviation and space through hands-on activities and engineering projects, directly inspired by the exhibits of the San Diego Air & Space Museum.
The San Diego Air & Space Museum Summer Camp offers engaging, hands-on programs for students from UTK through high school, exploring aviation, space, and technology. Campers participate in interactive activities, storytelling, engineering projects, and museum exploration. Activities include building aircraft, using robots, conducting science experiments, and designing and constructing aircraft carriers. Older campers can delve into military aviation, explore drones, practice flight simulation, and engage in project-based activities focused on creativity and aviation. The camp emphasizes the Engineering Design process, encouraging students to build, create, test, and modify their creations. Campers gain skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork while being inspired by the museum's exhibits.
A typical day involves hands-on activities, science experiments, and exploration of the museum exhibits, with specific themes like building aircraft, coding robots, or learning about space. Camps are half-day sessions.
This camp is ideal for students curious about flying, aviation careers, space exploration, robotics, and engineering, who enjoy hands-on projects and interactive learning in a museum setting.
