Eurekus: NASA STEAM Makers (Ages 7-8)

Blast off to a world of creativity during this stellar week of space-inspired investigation! Campers will learn to solder, design cool space missions and explore the cosmos through art. Kids will thrive during an out-of-this-world camp featuring our NASA STEAM and Maker programs. They will investigate our solar system and space missions through visual art, kinetic sculpture and inventing with fun technology. Projects include super solar system sculptures, constellation creations, pneumatic rockets, LED light sabers, Jedi costumes, alien puppets, soldering, circuits and more.
