For Campers Entering 5th – 7th Grade, Fall 2023
From aerodynamics and orbital mechanics to multi-stage rockets and geosynchronous satellites, Launch campers delve into the academics and applications of aerospace engineering. Why do rocket and satellite parts need to be made both strong and lightweight? What’s the difference between solid and liquid propellants? How does SpaceX reliably return first stage rocket motors back to Earth?! Kids explore these and other topics as they build DIY projects that reinforce the science and technology behind this exciting field of engineering. This camp was designed, in part, by Launch founder and ex-rocket scientist, Scott Heifetz, to motivate and inspire children to achieve their loftiest goals!
Additional Topics Include: Aerodynamic Forces, Orbital Mechanics, Escape Velocity, Mission Control, Satellites
