Calling future astronauts and rocketeers! We’re building sustainable spacecraft and space stations, rovers and satellites for launches, orbits, and landings, and even a few malfunctions, explosions, repairs, and rescues. We’ll make balloon towers that mimic graphene geothermal systems and global cooling space tubes and a shock absorbing, parachute space lander that must be tested with an egg! From 3D printed rocket ship prototypes to hands-on paper rocket builds that shoot up 100 feet to explorations of outer space in the Kerbal Space Program, we’re problem-solving to create a sustainable world and universe for all. This week of camp is out of this world!

Projects Include:

• Tinkercad + 3D Printer Pen: There's a 3D printed spaceship with missing pieces! We won’t be ready to take off unless you design and build the missing parts.
• Tinkercad Space Projects: Design a space station, recreate a shop… in Mars, create a rocket ship or your own space rover.
• Hands-On Engineering: We’ll build balloon towers that mimic graphene geothermal systems and parachute space landers and paper rockets for sustainable space travel.
• Kerbal Space Program: We’ll build spacecraft, fly them, and try to help the little Kerbals fulfill their ultimate mission of creating sustainable space travel. Along the way, we’re learning realistic aerodynamics, rocket propulsion, and orbital physics just like they do in NASA’s astronaut program.
