About This Activity
Description
Watch your child’s creativity take flight!
In this exciting hands-on camp, students will build their own radio-controlled foam flyer completely from scratch - shaping, assembling, and wiring every piece themselves. Along the way, they’ll explore core STEM concepts like physics, electronics, measurement, and aerodynamics through fun, guided experimentation. From crafting the lightweight frame to setting up the remote controls, kids will gain real-world skills in a safe, supportive environment. The program wraps up with a thrilling test flight where their friends can cheer on the young engineers as their hand-built flyers take to the sky!
Registration is online only.
