Info

Unique supplies needed for virtual camps will be mailed to campers homes. In addition to the 1 hour per day on screen (2 hours if you sign up for both the morning and afternoon session) with your Mad Scientist, there will be additional activities for children off screen. Each day will have a theme. If you register for a morning and afternoon session, the activities will be different and follow the daily theme.

Monday 6/15 Day 1: Afternoon Session:Accept NASA s challenge to design and build an air-powered rocket that can hit a distant target. Experiment with different materials and launch angels to fine tune your design. Join the time honored tradition of creating your own NASA mission patch.

Tuesday 6/16 Day 2:Afternoon Session: Your mission is to design a cold fuel storage device and a system to transfer the fuel to a spacecraft. Will your design be the one that can transfer the most fuel? Learn how a Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG) can help keep an astronaut cool under pressure.

Wednesday 6/17 Day 3:Afternoon Session: NASA uses radio waves to carry messages through space. Your job is to test different types of materials to determine which produces the best communication when sending a message over various distances. Learn about NASA spinoff technologies and see if you can spot them in a virtual treasure hunt. Create a collage of spinoffs you may find in your home, neighborhood or community.

Thursday 6/18 Day 4:Afternoon Session: NASA needs a spacecraft that can land on the moon without injuring astronauts or damaging the craft. Your mission is to design and build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two astronauts when they land. You will use the engineering design process to discover ways to improve your lander as you test it.

Friday 6/19 Day 5:Afternoon Session: Choose your favorite NASA spinoff technology to share with the world. Create a storyboard to use as inspiration for a short video that will capture your design thinking and market your spinoff with an engaging pitch.
