Do your kids think the world revolves around them? They'll find out differently at the 2008 Space Exploration Science Camps! The camps are held at Dyer Observatory and focus on a mix of astronomy and space exploration with hands-on engaging learning adventures. The camp curriculum was created by an expert team of astronomy professors, space scientists and area science teachers, led by Dr. Rick Chappell, former chief scientist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. Campers will meet at Dyer Observatory where they will have access to an extensive astronomy library, a computer center featuring astronomy software, and a mission control center where telescopes around the country are controlled robotically. An impressive dome on top of the observatory houses the large Seyfert Telescope. The Space Exploration Science Camps support middle-school students in their exploration of the worlds of science, math and technology, and opens up their minds to future career possibilities in these fields.
