Mad Science is the only organization licensed by NASA to use these specific activities for summer camps, offering a unique and authentic space exploration experience.
Mad Science Summer Camp's "NASA: Journey to Outer Space" program offers an immersive experience where campers ages 6-12 embark on a voyage of discovery through Earth's atmosphere and beyond. Participants will explore planets, moons, and other space phenomena, gaining a foundational understanding of space science. Activities include hands-on experiments such as creating comets and building Mad Science rockets, culminating in a NASA-style rocket launch. Campers will also engage in challenges related to living in space, understanding gravity, and observing various space phenomena. The curriculum is designed to foster scientific inquiry, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills through interactive and engaging projects. Mad Science is uniquely licensed by NASA to utilize these specific activities in their summer camps, providing an authentic and enriching learning environment. Each day includes take-home activities to continue the learning experience at home.
A typical day involves hands-on science experiments, building projects like rockets, and participating in engaging activities that explore different aspects of space science and phenomena.
This camp is best for elementary-aged children (6-12) who are curious about space, enjoy hands-on activities, and are eager to learn about planets, rockets, and the mysteries of the universe.
