Description
From the Earth’s atmosphere to the outer reaches of our solar system, join us and discover the mysteries of space, planets, stars, and more! Learn about the four forces of flight, living in space, and the challenges of space travel. Last but not least, learn about the secrets of rocket science and even participate in a live rocket launch. Join our space academy this summer for some out of this world fun! The following topics will not necessarily follow the order listed below:
Earth and Beyond - Explore the farthest reaches of our solar system and create a lunar eclipse in this “mad” planetary tour! Understand how gravity is used to assist our NASA expedition utilizing your own gravity-assisted launcher. Next, go on a mission to explore the atmosphere on Earth and beyond! Mix up various planetary atmospheres, one molecule at a time, discover how stars would look in space, and make your very own meteorological station.
Astronaut-in-Training - Discover technology designed for outer space! Steer a laser beam through a laser maze, find hidden mountains using the principles of radar technology, and discover everyday objects that were originally designed for use in space! Bring the excitement home with a stereoscopic viewer that will allow you to see objects in 3D. Live the life of an astronaut as you suit up for space flight! Find out how much you would weigh if you lived on Neptune and how old you would be if you lived on Saturn. Participate in a space mission and make your very own space walk.
Solar Launch - This stellar program is your ticket to the stars! Watch star dust burn and journey through a soapy galaxy as you investigate the life cycle of stars! Use your cosmic disk to create your very own constellation. Then, it’s your chance to become a rocket scientist! Investigate the four forces of flight and explore the science involved in rocket construction as you build your own Skyblazer II Rocket that you can take home!
Eye on the Sky - Probe the mysteries of meteors and bounce around satellite light in this phenomenal program on space phenomena! Learn how to tell the difference between stars, planets, and satellites in the night sky. See comets up close as one is formed before your eyes and take home your very own James Webb space telescope.
Space Voyage - Learn all about flight and rocket launches. Race your own rocket balloon using air pressure. Build your own shuttle copter and watch how is uses tension and air to fly around.
