Southampton, PA, USA. January 23, 2013 – The NASTAR® Center, the premier commercial space training and research center in the world, will once again host its popular NASTAR Camp summer program for students. In response to requests from parents, NASTAR Camp 2013 will include BRAND NEW sessions for grades 2 through 3 and 9 through 12. NASTAR Camp is a one week program that runs Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. The NASTAR Camp curriculum is structured to be fun while reinforcing the Pennsylvania Academic Standards for Science and Technology and Engineering Education.

Camp participants will construct balloon powered cars to learn about Newton’s Laws of Motion, build and launch small gliders to learn about the forces of flight, create simple weather instruments, pilot an aircraft simulator and engage in other activities that foster inquiry-based learning. The 2013 sessions will include brand new activities on robotics, computer control systems, solar energy and the solar system.
