Students learn real aerospace engineering from active aerospace engineers with decades of industry experience, building and flying their own aircraft.
The NovaEd AeroLab Summer Aerospace Camp offers hands-on aerospace engineering experiences for students aged 6-16. Participants will engage in building real balsa wood aircraft from scratch, testing powered flight, and learning fundamental aerospace engineering principles from experienced engineers. The curriculum covers structures, aerodynamics, and flight mechanics. Students will gain practical skills in aircraft design, construction, and testing, fostering problem-solving abilities and an understanding of real-world engineering workflows. The camp aims to spark curiosity and empower the next generation of engineers through interactive projects and expert instruction.
A typical day involves hands-on aircraft builds, real engineering instruction, and testing powered flight in class.
This camp is ideal for curious minds aged 6-16 eager to grasp real-world principles of aviation and explore potential STEM career pathways in aerospace engineering.
