Space Tech & Engineering

If you enjoy Bill Nye or Mark Rober, this class will be a dream come true for you!

Space Tech & Engineering is stellar for anyone who has ever looked up at the stars and wondered what lies beyond our planet. Any nerds who love astronomy, space travel, or even space-based science fiction will absolutely love this class! If you hope to see humanity exploring other galaxies and outer space being accessible to everyone within your lifetime, this class will show you the technology that could make that day possible!?

Nerds in this class build lots of awesome cosmic creations! We will design models of the solar system that are more accurate than the ones you see online, make stomp rocket launchers ? and models of rovers and satellites ?, and fabricate our very own telescopes ?. We will even get to play around with gravity using our very own gravity well! Through class activities, we’ll learn all about cutting-edge space technology!

In this class, Nerds learn about all sorts of transplanetary topics. We will learn about the forces of flight, Newton’s laws, and gravity, and explore how they enable massive rockets to blast off into the cosmos! We will also learn about the history of our solar system and just how big it actually is. We will even talk about out-of-this-world ideas like space colonies, robot astronauts, future missions, and the forces that formed our universe! ?‍?

SUMMER & BREAK CLASSES ONLY: Class is 3hrs each day, so bring a snack for break time. Also, bring your own refillable water bottle. Don’t have one? Add our Nerding water bottle to your order and pick up on first day of class!
