Asteroid science is out of this world! In this camp, 3rd and 4th graders launch through the Solar System to explore the asteroid belt. Campers will learn about asteroid surfaces and the tricky challenges of landing on them. Using creativity and engineering skills, they’ll design and build their own rovers and landing gear to tackle an asteroid of their choice. Along the way, they’ll uncover secrets of our Solar System while testing their inventions like real space engineers. Perfect for kids who love astronomy, building, and big adventures!
