Robotics STEM Experience
Students will learn about the universe as they navigate their robot by driving through an obstacle field transporting a payload. Students will work in teams to design and build a chassis to transport a payload. Participants will then test their design on the challenge course.
Rocket Design STEM Experience
Students will apply Newton’s Laws of Motion by building and launching rockets. Students will learn the main parts of rockets, measure the distance of the rocket’s flight, and use engineering design to determine how to make their rockets go further and/or change trajectory.
Virtual Reality STEM Experience
Students use virtual reality to take a journey to the International Space Station, fly with Juno, or explore the red planet through a Mars rover.
Stars & STEM program
Stars & STEM is a rigorous and immersive program designed for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Stars & STEM now offers daytime, evening and overnight programs to best suit your group.
