4 Weeks. 8 Modules.
1 Real Rocket Launch.
Every module is designed by aerospace engineers and STEM educators. No previous experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to work hard.
Foundation & First Launch
Campers learn the language of aerospace engineering and build their first rocket.
Introduction to Aerospace Engineering
Campers explore the history of flight, key aerospace milestones, and the physics principles behind lift, thrust, drag, and weight. Hands-on introduction to the engineering design process.
Rocketry Fundamentals
An in-depth study of rocket propulsion, staging, nosecone geometry, and stability. Campers build and test their first model rockets using commercially available motors.
Design & Simulation
Professional CAD tools and simulation software bring designs to life on screen — and then in the air.
CAD Design & Rocket Engineering
Using professional CAD software, campers design their own custom rocket components — fins, nosecones, and payload bays — then analyze their designs for structural integrity.
Flight Simulation & Physics
Campers run OpenRocket simulations to predict flight trajectories, analyze data, and refine their designs before going to the launchpad.
Advanced Physics & Competition
Deep dives into physics, orbital mechanics, and the high-stakes team engineering competition.
Applied Physics & Orbital Mechanics
From projectile motion to Kepler's laws, campers explore the math and physics that governs everything from a model rocket's parabolic arc to a satellite's orbital path.
Team Engineering Challenge
Working in assigned teams, campers design, build, and test a rocket from scratch with a specific mission objective — maximum altitude, precision landing, or payload delivery.
Launch Day & Celebration
The culminating rocket launch, data analysis, career exploration, and the parent celebration ceremony.
Launch Day Operations
The culminating experience — a full launch day at the outdoor range. Campers conduct pre-flight checks, launch their rockets, recover them, and analyze post-flight data.
Careers in Aerospace
Guest engineers and scientists from the aerospace industry share their career paths and what the field looks like today. Campers explore colleges, majors, and internships in aerospace.
Key Dates
Mon–Fri, 9 AM – 4 PM. Four weeks per session, no weekends.
