Launch into orbital mechanics this summer 🚀 with StellarXplorers, a hands-on camp from Wex Foundation, a NASA Informal Education Community Anchor. StellarCamps are best suited for high school and middle school students who are just getting into aerospace or who have some aerospace knowledge and want to learn more.&nbsp; Topics covered include: History of Space explorationCircular / Elliptical OrbitsOrbit DeterminationSatellite Component SelectionLaunch Vehicle SelectionRocketsBasic principles using Systems Toolkit (STK)&nbsp;

StellarXplorers - Orbital Mechanics Summer Camp

WHY AI? The AI Space Academy Summer Camp is being offered for the first time this year, featuring a newly developed curriculum designed to reflect the latest advancements in artificial intelligence and modern engineering. The program focuses on building a strong foundation for using AI responsibly and effectively as a tool for problem-solving, software development, and engineering design. As AI continues to transform nearly every industry, these foundational skills are becoming increasingly important for students preparing for college, future careers, and a technology-driven world. PROGRAM DETAILS:&nbsp;Students will learn programming fundamentals while using artificial intelligence as a learning assistant to solve increasingly challenging coding problems in Python and Java. Students will also design, build, wire, and program hardware systems inspired by real NASA missions using Arduino microcontrollers, sensors, displays, and embedded electronics. No prior programming or electronics experience is required. WHERE:&nbsp;St. Mary&#39;s University,&nbsp;Richter Math-Engineering Center, Room 106 WHEN:&nbsp;Monday, July 13th - Thursday, July 16th . 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM.&nbsp; COST:&nbsp;$50/student for the entire 4-days. Snacks will be provided.
