NEW: Leadership and Engineering Workshops for Grades 7-9!
Science Center (K-6)
Choose two topics from the SEEd aligned Earth and Space curriculum. Students will be immersed in hands-on learning through experiments and demonstrations with a STAR Camp instructor in the classroom. Science Center experiences conclude with a visit from one of our crazy scientists!
Any topic can be adapted for any grade. Here is what we recommend based on the Utah SEEd standards for each grade:

Engineering Challenge (3-6)
Students will be immersed in the engineering design process, as they discover classroom-sized solutions to life-size problems. Students will identify criteria and constraints, develop a prototype for iterative testing, analyze data from testing, and propose and present modifications for optimizing the design solution. Teachers will see a model of how engineering principles can be applied to scientific concepts.
Any challenge will work for any grade. Here is what we recommend for SEEd alignment:

Mission to the Moon (4-9)
For grades 4-6
Students assume the roles of astronauts and mission specialists as they simulate a test flight for future missions to the Moon! Students will learn teamwork, communication, and personal accountability while building new and unique STEM vocabulary. Mission to the Moon includes Mission Training with a STAR Camp instructor and a simulated space mission to the Mission to the Moon also includes an All About Gravity class designed by educators and aerospace engineers.

In-Classroom Field Trip Testimonials

"The interaction with the students and the instructors was great. Students loved the simulation and their parts. I loved how engaged my students were and how much they learned. I also loved how Mission to the Moon aligned with our science standards."
Kate Todd Grade 6 Teacher Centerville Elementary |
"It was a very hands on experience when students got to use creative problem solving skills to design a steerable floating device. They could come up with their own ideas and test them. Several of the teams revised their original ideas if they did not work or refined them to make it work better. All in all, the students learned a lot and they enjoyed the activity very much."
Katalin Gibson Grade 3 Teacher Polk Elementary |
"The kids loved something new! They loved talking about working as a team and being able to see how science can fit into their real life and goals for school."
Stacey Nance Grade 6 Teacher Shadow Valley Elementary |
