Participants engage in engineering design challenges, use robotic platforms, and delve into activities such as heat shield design, habitat design, and rocketry.
Day 1 | Traverse Mars, its place in the solar system, its terrain and atmosphere. Then, create rockets and parachutes that we will put to the test.
Day 2 | Design a habitat for astronauts using circuits and elements key to survival on the Martian surface.
Day 3 | Compete in a rover challenge, as well as build helicopter, like Ingenuity.
Day 4 | Program rovers and aid in Curiosity’s mission as it makes its way across the red planet.
Day 5 | Enjoy a tram ride to Rocket Park & Building 9 to view the historic Saturn V and where past, present, and future NASA astronauts train. Then, explore the mysteries of Mars with robotics and problem solving with your crew.
$299.95 | 5-Day Camp
Develop an understanding of space exploration challenges and beyond. Through hands-on engineering challenges, the use of robotics and creative designs all campers learn what it takes to go beyond Earth. Campers are inspired to find ways to take part in the mission to explore the solar system.
Day 1 | Assemble a crew and work together to achieve success on a mission just like astronauts, scientists, engineers, and mission control do. Then construct and launch a rocket.
Day 2 | Going into the vacuum of space comes with dangers. Test and develop materials capable of protecting your crew.
Day 3 | NASA’s technological advances have greatly impacted our everyday lives on Earth. Using the engineering process your engineers-in-training create inventions that might make everyday life here on Earth better or easier and build rovers that will play homage to the rovers created by JPL engineers.
Day 4 | Explore a 360-degree view of the modules and solve a mystery aboard the International Space Station.
