This free, hands-on experiential camp offers a unique opportunity for middle school students to delve into aerospace science, engineering, and history, culminating in rocketry activities and an understanding of engineering ethics.
The Red Tailed Hawks Aerospace Science Camp is a three-day experiential STEM learning academy designed for rising 6th to 8th-grade students. Scholars form teams to engage in scientific and engineering methodologies, examining Earth and aerospace vehicles as systems. They conduct scientific experiments, solve engineering problems, and demonstrate aerospace principles through hands-on activities like rocketry. The camp aims to introduce key science, engineering, and mathematical concepts important to the aerospace industry, while also providing historical context and encouraging students to envision their future in the field.
Activities include applying aerospace-related STEM concepts to aircraft performance, tackling progressively more difficult engineering design challenges, and exploring projectile motion, rocket stability, and orbital mechanics. The camp culminates with a focus on rocketry and engineering ethics. This program is designed to inspire and engage the next generation of pilots and aerospace professionals, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.
A typical day involves hands-on science and engineering workshops, applying aerospace-related STEM concepts, and working in teams to solve engineering problems and conduct experiments.
This camp is best for rising middle school students (6th-8th grade) with a strong interest in science, engineering, and mathematics, particularly those curious about the aerospace industry and aviation history.
