This five-day camp is an introductory exploration of rocket science. Students will start by learning about the history of the space program, from the earliest rockets to the latest missions. Students will study the principles of rocket science and how private companies like SpaceX and Boeing are advancing the field. Then students will construct their own simple, single-stage rockets. As the week progresses, they will be equipped to build more complex designs with multi-stage engines, special recovery systems, and more. Rockets will be tested for flight worthiness before launch! Tuition includes a $25 materials fee. Camps have a maximum enrollment and many fill quickly each year. Register early to avoid disappointment. Register before June 1 to avoid a late registration fee. Early drop off (8 am) and late pick up (4 pm) are available for $15/day. Email registration@kopernik.org for information.
