The camp offers a unique blend of hands-on space science activities and historical context, taking place on the historic InfoAge site where global communications and the space race began, including the opportunity to use an 18-meter radio telescope.
InfoAge Space Week offers middle school students an immersive five-day experience in space science and exploration. Participants engage in hands-on activities such as model making, rocket launching, and building robots. The curriculum covers topics like the Earth, the solar system, galaxies, the universe, rocketry, and outer space observation. Students will investigate forces, gravity, and the electromagnetic spectrum, and learn about the principles of aerodynamics and propulsion. The program also includes visits to the InfoAge Radio Museum, the Original Marconi Tower, and Mobile Radar Units, providing a unique historical context to space exploration. A highlight is the opportunity to use an 18-meter radio telescope dish to send their voice to the moon and hear it bounce back. The camp aims to ignite curiosity in STEM fields and careers.
Each day is divided into two three-hour sessions filled with model making, rocket launching, demonstrations, and games, with a lunch break in between.
This camp is ideal for middle school students aged 10-15 who are curious about the universe and eager to engage in hands-on STEM activities related to space science and exploration.
