In coordination with NASA IV&V Education Resource Center (ERC), Destination SPACE, Inc. is offering a hands-on STEM Space Camp to high school students in Fairmont, West Virginia July 8-12, 2024. Students will arrive on campus on Monday, July 8th in the early morning.
This five-day camp program is designed to cultivate a long-term interest in STEM by providing engaging, hands-on remote sensing educational opportunities for students from backgrounds underrepresented in STEM fields. Students will learn about satellites, weather station, climate, and remote sensing.
Destination SPACE Camps focus on students learning weather, climatology, space weather, and satellite engineering and science. Students will be part of a team that builds, tests, and launches their own weather stations, while analyzing and reporting the data they collect. Most students have little to no prior background in aerospace engineering or weather and climate. While at Destination SPACE's camp, they will gain a solid foundation of knowledge, research experience, leadership skills, and the beginnings of a professional network that will develop their ability and confidence.
