The program offers a hands-on, immersive experience in applied physics and engineering, allowing students to build and test model airplanes while exploring fundamental aerospace concepts.
This hands-on program is designed for high school students interested in physics and engineering, particularly those preparing for or having completed high school physics. Students delve into critical laws of flight, gravity, and motion, alongside broader topics in aeronautics and aerospace technologies. A core activity involves constructing and testing model airplanes, allowing students to examine principles like thrust, lift, drag, and weight under various conditions. Experiments also cover how ailerons, elevators, rudders, and flaps influence an aircraft's aerodynamics and stability. The curriculum incorporates lectures and exercises focusing on acceleration, centripetal force, and g-force. This program offers a valuable pre-college experience for teens considering majors in engineering or computer science, fostering practical skills and a deeper understanding of physics in action.
A typical day runs from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, with about half the day dedicated to lectures and class activities, and the other half to lab and hands-on activities.
This program is ideal for high school students who are preparing to take high school Physics or have already completed it and are considering an engineering or computer science major.
