Registration opens soon for a number of summer camps that aim to inspire future explorers and professionals.
The camps are for youth aged 9-18 with a focus on hands-on experiential learning. It’s also an opportunity for students to apply skills they learn into an industry, something that is a big push right now for community colleges.
Program Development and Education Specialist with Washtenaw Community College, Sophia McCain, says their space camp has a licensed curriculum with NASA.
“Our students are able to get hands-on knowledge and experience with some of the physics practices that are taking place in those lessons and they have a lot of fun. I've got some fun videos and rocket experiments that they were able to do in the summer.”
There are a total of 21 summer camps with both half-day and full days over five weeks of instruction that runs from July 7 to August 8th. Registration starts on March 13.
