Campers gain unique insights into aerospace through direct engagement with the Museum of Flight's world-class collection and interactions with aerospace professionals.
The Museum of Flight's Space Explorers Camp, part of their Aerospace Camp Experience (ACE), offers middle school students an immersive week of space science, engineering, and technology. Campers engage in hands-on activities, experiments, and explore the museum's extensive exhibits. They will delve into planetary science, learning about planets, moons, comets, and asteroids, and the methods scientists use to study distant celestial bodies. Activities include designing and building air rockets, crafting clay shuttles, and even designing spacesuits. Students will also work in teams to plan long-term missions to other planets and design habitats for crew safety. The camp aims to inspire curiosity, build confidence in STEM fields, and expose students to potential career pathways in aerospace.
A typical day includes a mix of hands-on learning through science experiments and technical projects, time spent exploring the Museum's galleries and behind-the-scenes collections, and traditional camp activities like games, crafts, stories, and team-building.
This camp is ideal for middle school students who are curious about space, enjoy hands-on projects, and are interested in exploring potential careers in aviation and aerospace.
