The camp offers a unique blend of hands-on STEAM activities within Fairchild's living laboratory, focusing on real-world challenges of Martian colonization in partnership with NASA research.
Young makers participating in the "Makers to Mars: Prototyping our Future on the Red Planet" camp will engage in a variety of STEAM activities focused on space exploration and colonization. Campers will learn what it takes to not only travel to Mars but also to establish and sustain life there. Activities include designing and building model rockets, creating habitations suitable for the Martian environment, developing methods for growing food to support human life, and constructing rovers to navigate the planet's challenging terrain. Each day of the program will highlight a different aspect of life on Mars, providing a comprehensive and hands-on learning experience for aspiring astronauts. The camp aims to foster skills in scientific inquiry, engineering design, problem-solving, and creative thinking through these engaging projects.
A typical day includes check-in and announcements, followed by science lessons, games, and various hands-on activities and experiments. After lunch and free time, campers engage in creative lab challenges such as art, design, or engineering projects tied to the week's theme.
This camp is ideal for young makers aged 7-12 who are curious about space, enjoy hands-on STEAM activities, and are interested in the challenges and innovations involved in future Martian colonization.
