Campers gain a deeper understanding of how aircraft are made and what keeps them soaring through hands-on challenges and museum-based learning at the Sullenberger Aviation Museum.
In the AeroQuest Summer Camp's "Future Flyers: Build, Test, Fly" program, rising 4th and 5th graders engage in a hands-on exploration of aviation and engineering. Campers design, construct, and test their own aircraft prototypes, delving into the scientific principles of flight and the innovative processes that drive aviation forward. Through a series of challenges and museum-based learning experiences, participants develop problem-solving skills and gain a deeper understanding of aircraft creation and the mechanics of flight. The camp aims to spark a lasting interest in STEM, aviation, and exploration, fostering confidence and encouraging big dreams through creative projects and behind-the-scenes access to aviation history.
A typical day involves hands-on activities, interactive games, creative projects, and time exploring the museum's galleries, focusing on the fundamentals of flight and aviation history.
This camp is ideal for rising 4th and 5th graders who are curious about how things fly, enjoy hands-on building, and are interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
