- Students take to the skies and explore the thrills of life at 30,000 feet with dynamic, hands-on flight-based activities. They pilot hot air balloons, parachutes, gliders, planes, helicopters and rockets, all while examining abstract physics concepts such as energy conservation, buoyancy and the four forces of flight.
- Learners fly alongside the aviation experts of the world, taking quick detours to examine the history of flight as they follow the footsteps of the Wright Brothers and da Vinci by creating extraordinary flying machines! In Flight & Aerodynamics Camp, take the yoke and fly into the STEM-setting sun in one of our most thrilling camp packages!
