Description:

During this 3-day camp, campers will learn about rockets as well as design and launch their own rockets. Building up from day to day, students will explore some of the science concepts behind rockets leading up to the final launch day where campers will be tasked with designing a way to launch and return a raw egg unbroken.

Campers that are juniors in high school and above will also have the chance to experiment with bigger, faster rockets that can carry a larger payload. How does the air pressure and temperature change as the rocket travels through the atmosphere? Add sensors to your payload and find out!
