RTH Aerospace Science Camp Closed with a Blast! Friday included thinking like a scientist, problem solving like an engineer, Earth as a system, airplane as a system, Newton’s laws of motion, forces on an airplane, conservation of energy and momentum, and introduction to drones. Saturday began with programming drones, designing and building tin boats, and learning about electrical circuits. Then, scholars continued to design and build robots, learn about structures, design and build contraptions to protect a falling egg, collect projectile motion data on stomp rockets, design and launch paper rockets, and learn about orbital mechanics. Sunday, the teams discussed ethics in engineering and built and launched solid-fuel model rockets. Thank you, NESSP and Rainier Vista Boys and Girls Club!
