Campers learn about the universe; from exotic black holes to the nature of light. During the week campers are engaged in hands-on educational and exiting science activities: launching rockets, working with and building electronics, experimenting with lasers, and participating telescope control and observations. Each day is infused with cutting-edge NASA innovations and programs.
The Dyer Observers Space Science Camp supports students who are serious about science in their exploration of the worlds of science, math and technology, and opens up their minds to future career possibilities in these fields. Campers interact with astronomers who are respected researchers and seasoned instructors. Participation in group activities builds self-confidence, problem solving skills and social skills.
