Virtual Mad Science NASA Journey into Outer Space

Join us and participate in activities from home in this live virtual camp. From our Earth's atmosphere to the outer reaches of our solar system, this program sends campers on a quest for exploration! Comets, planets, stars and more are all waiting to be discovered. Learn about the four forces of flight and the challenges of space travel. Discover why two eyes are better than one. Investigate how telescopes work, and build your very own rocket!

For this virtual camp, we'll pack up a bag for you of science activities to do at home! Your Mad Scientist will lead campers in demonstrations and activities and set them off on their discovery with science activities. Your Mad Scientist will be online the whole time to guide them and answer questions as the conduct their activities some independently and some as a group. Conducted via Zoom or similar. Children entering K and 1st may need assistance from a grown-up at home.

Note: Descriptions below are based on in-person programs. Specific "Camp at Home" activities may vary.

Astronauts in Training Discover technology designed for outer space! Steer a laser beam through a laser maze! ring the excitement home with a Stereoscopic Viewer® with 3D images of space! Compare the temperatures of planets and practice an out-or-this-world team challenge!

Earth & Beyond Explore the farthest reaches of our solar system and create a lunar eclipse in this “mad” planetary tour! Work out your escape velocity with a Gravity Assisted Launcher®! Next, go on a mission to explore the atmosphere on Earth, and beyond!

Eye on the Sky Come take a closer look at asteroid, comets, satellites, and other lights in the night sky. Bring far-away objects into focus as you learn about the power of mirrors and lenses. See comets up close as one is formed before your eyes. Build a Space Telescope

Solar Launch This stellar program is your ticket to the stars! Follow the life cycle of stars and see how constellations change when you travel across the galaxy. Learn to read a star chart. Investigate flight, and explore the science involved in rocket construction!

Space Voyage Learn what it takes to be a true globetrotter! Race a balloon rocket and design your own car engine as you learn about thrust. See the principles of propulsion at work in a real rocket launch, and build your very own Space Copter™ to fly to the skies!
