Calling all curious minds ages 12โ€“17! In this exciting Kids College camp, students will design, build and launch their own weather balloons to collect real-time data from the atmosphere. As their balloons soar, they'll explore how weather patterns influence energy use and discover why sunshine and wind are essential for powering our world.

After the launch, campers will analyze their data and learn how renewable energy systems like solar and wind depend on changing weather conditions. Through hands-on activities, teamwork and engaging discussions, students will connect science, sustainability and climate in a truly sky-high adventure!

๐Ÿ’ก Best of all, this camp is offered at a discounted rate thanks to generous funding from Constellation's E2 Energy to Educate grant.

In this Kids College summer camp for ages 10โ€“14, participants will explore the main types of simple machines and discover how they work in the world around them.
