Students gain real-world insight into aerospace engineering through hands-on projects, academic excursions, and interactions with industry professionals.
Students in the Summer Springboard Middle School Aerospace Engineering program at the University of Washington explore the exciting world of flight and space through hands-on activities. They learn fundamental principles of motion, gravity, and forces that enable aircraft and spacecraft to take off and stay airborne. Participants design, build, and launch their own gliders and model rockets, experimenting with aerodynamics and seeing engineering concepts in action. The program also includes opportunities to meet real aerospace engineers, hear from guest speakers, and go on academic excursions, such as a tour of the Museum of Flight, to gain insights into the industry and potential career paths. No prior advanced math or science experience is required, just curiosity and a passion for exploration.
A typical day involves academic coursework in the morning, followed by recreational activities or academic excursions in the afternoon.
This program is ideal for middle school students aged 12-14 who are curious, creative, and love exploring how things fly, with no prior advanced math or science experience needed.
