Space Challenge
Santa Fe College Community Education will be launching its 7th College for Kids (CFK) Spring Break Space Challenge: Back to the Moon from March 23 - 26. This year’s program is designed to engage both the students and SF College’s unique resources including an on-campus planetarium. Students in grades 4th-8th will launch into an adventure of a lifetime as they explore the space frontier through hands-on, interactive team activities.
During the four day camp, students will visit the Kika Silva Pla Planetarium. Coordinator and co-host of the PBS TV series Star Gazers, James Albury will conduct a tour of the universe using the latest high definition full dome digital projection system.
Classroom activities will be hands-on and include both collaborative and individual tasks. The future scientists and astronauts will work in teams, building and programming LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robots to perform mock missions on Mars; learn about propulsion systems that power rockets, tackle how to navigate through space via the stars themselves, and engineer and program rovers to explore planets hundreds of light years from Earth. Students will work with 3D Printing; Cosmic Art, a project combining art and technology, and Astro Games where students will be rewarded for their expertise of space knowledge!
Fee: $269
Dates: Monday - Thursday, Mar. 23 - 26
Ages: 10-14
Includes lunch, snack and two (2) camp t-shirts!
Lunch will be provided by Subway consisting of a sandwich, chips, cookie and drink.
Astro Games: Wonders of Astronomy
Learn interesting facts about space thru interactive group games.
Celestial Navigation
Learn how to navigate using the stars and prepare to make your own constellations using the stars visible from an extrasolar planet 40 light years from Earth!
Cool Science
Did you know that the "soil" on the surface of the moon is called regolith? Recreate the texture of regolith and create your very own moon rock while learning cool chemistry skills at the same time.
SF Kika Pla Planetarium
Space cadets will begin each day in the SF Kika Pla Planetarium where they will take a 3D trip to the moon and learn about the history of the lunar exploration.
Stellar Art
Using technology and art create a night light that displays the various phases of the moon!
Ultimate Robotics Lab
Use the Ultimate Robotics Lab and 3D printers to create vehicles, drones and robots to explore the moon surface.
