Campers learn from expert educators at the official visitor center of NASA Johnson Space Center, providing an authentic and inspiring space exploration experience.
Space Center Houston's Explorer Camps offer children ages 4-11 engaging, hands-on STEM challenges that bring space exploration to life. Campers participate in innovative robotics challenges, design space habitats, launch rockets, and solve real-world engineering problems. Through these activities, children develop creativity, critical thinking, teamwork skills, and confidence. The curriculum is inspired by real NASA missions and taught by expert educators at the official visitor center of NASA Johnson Space Center. Activities include programming various robotics platforms to simulate space exploration challenges, building and testing land-based and underwater robots, and designing and launching rockets. Campers also learn about coding, circuit building, and thermal protection systems.
A typical day involves hands-on STEM activities such as building and programming robots, designing rockets or habitats, and participating in interactive challenges. Campers also receive a daily snack and may have lunch provided or bring their own.
These camps are best for curious minds in Pre-K through 11 years old who are interested in science, technology, engineering, and math, and who enjoy hands-on problem-solving and teamwork.
