Using high school-level math and science skills, each camper will design and construct a small spacecraft that they will then help launch on a high-altitude balloon to 100,000 feet. Throughout the camp, instruction will include satellite building and testing, laboratory tours, and interviews with aerospace engineering faculty and students. The camp will conclude with a high-altitude balloon launch, during which campers will track their satellite as it travels to the edge of space.
Camp Activities include:
Introduction to soldering and electronic basics
Introduction to Arduino programming and sensors
Design and construction of satellite structure
Ground testing and troubleshooting
Launch logistics and tracking
Q&A with Aerospace Engineering Students
Tour of Space Systems Engineering Laboratory
