The camp offers a unique blend of hands-on space exploration and citizen science, culminating in a presentation from a NASA astronaut.
The AERIS: Atmospheric Exploration & Research in Science program at Space Center Houston offers middle and high school students an engaging five-day STEM experience. Inspired by real NASA missions, participants delve into the troposphere and stratosphere through hands-on learning and citizen science. Students gain practical skills by designing and building scientific payloads, predicting flight paths, and analyzing authentic atmospheric data collected from high-altitude weather balloons. Throughout the week, collaborative, project-based activities strengthen their understanding of physics, engineering, and global awareness. The immersive program fosters teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking, culminating in a presentation from a NASA astronaut and a graduation ceremony where students receive certificates for their achievements.
A typical day runs from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, filled with collaborative, project-based activities focused on atmospheric exploration and research.
This camp is ideal for middle and high school students eager to explore careers in STEM fields and interested in blending space exploration with citizen science.
