Discover the power and possibility of flight in this immersive, one-week Aerospace Engineering Summer Camp designed for students ages 12–18. This hands-on program introduces middle and high school students to the fundamentals of aviation, aeronautics, and aerospace engineering through engaging labs, flight simulations, design challenges, and real-world applications.
Throughout the week, students will explore the history of flight, aircraft components, propulsion systems, spaceflight, and modern aerospace technology. Participants will design, build, and test model aircraft and drones, experience realistic flight simulators, and compete in a high-energy drone flight competition. Students will also engage in computer-based modeling and gain exposure to industry environments, including a professional aerospace laboratory visit and a Lockheed Museum tour.
Campers will develop problem-solving skills, technical confidence, and teamwork abilities while being challenged in a fun, structured, and inspiring environment. Whether your student is curious about aviation or already dreaming of a future in aerospace engineering, this camp provides an exciting introduction to potential STEM career pathways.
No prior experience is required — just curiosity, creativity, and a passion for discovery.
