2025 Jul 28-Aug 1 Summer Camp - 5 days - Ages 7-12 - Aerospace Engineering : Orbiters and Landers & Hardware Engineering: Get Wired With Makey Makey
Morning Course (9:00-12:00):
Orbiters and Landers (Aerospace Engineering)
During this class, students will take a comprehensive look at NASA’s landers and orbiters that are currently conducting important research on Mars. We will examine the anatomy of various orbiters and landers in order to gain a deeper understanding of how they assist in the work of NASA’s scientists and engineers. Students will learn about the technology and innovation that is required for aerospace engineers so we can, one day, safely transport human beings to the surface of Mars. Each class will use the EFK’s Engineering Design Process to engage in exciting, hands-on STEM challenges with real-world connections to NASA and aerospace engineering.
Afternoon Course (12:30-3:30):
Hardware Engineering: Get Wired With Makey Makey
Imagine designing a piano using celery or a creating a custom digital training program. Now, envision playing video games using just your body, a bit of wire and your own imagination. In our hardware engineering program, students engineer their own customized video game controllers using a Makey Makey device and materials that can be found in just about any kitchen. Through application of circuitry, acoustical engineering and video game design, students discover new ways to interact with technology, all while creating unique designs in a fun collaborative environment.
