🚀 STEM Focus: Ground Effect Vehicles

Build. Test. Race. Improve.

This is not a generic STEM camp. Students engage in real engineering design cycles, similar to those used by aerospace engineers.

🧠 Week 1: Fundamentals of Ground Effect

Goal: Understand the science behind hovercraft and low-altitude flight

Students explore:

Ground effect (lift, drag, air cushion)
Aerodynamics basics (lift vs. weight)
Vehicle types: hovercraft vs. wing-in-ground (WIG)
Propulsion systems (fans, propellers)
Lightweight materials and structures

Hands-on experiments:

Mini hovercraft builds
Fan + duct airflow testing

👉 Outcome: Build strong intuition and understanding—not just theory

🔧 Week 2: Build & Test

Goal: Create a fully functional hovercraft

Students will:

Assemble lift and thrust systems
Design and attach skirts for air containment
Integrate radio control systems
Conduct controlled testing

Testing includes:

Smooth surface trials
Measuring stability, steering, and speed

👉 Outcome: Working prototype + real performance data

🏁 Week 3: Race & Iterate

Goal: Improve performance through engineering iteration

Students:

Analyze test results
Modify designs (fix → test → improve)
Navigate obstacle courses
Compete in team races

Engineering focus:

Problem-solving under constraints
Iteration and redesign
Team collaboration

👉 Outcome: Final competition + team presentation

🎯 Skills Students Gain

Real-world engineering thinking
Data-driven problem solving
Collaboration and teamwork
Design iteration and critical thinking
Hands-on mechanical building experience

🌿 Daily Camp Flow

Mornings: STEM-focused learning (Ground Effect Vehicles program)
Afternoons: Free 2 Be — open exploration, creativity, and reset time

🌱 Chill Time (Daily Reset & Creative Exploration)

Engineering isn’t just building—it’s also observing, thinking, and reflecting.

Activities include:

Nature journaling or sketching
“Sit spots” for quiet observation
Optional mini builds based on camper interests
Open-ended tinkering and exploration

💡 Why This Makes Our Camp Better

Prevents burnout and keeps students engaged
Encourages creativity and curiosity
Builds observation skills (essential for engineers)
Improves focus—campers return sharper for builds
Supports independent thinking (not everything is step-by-step)
Balances intensity across a 3-week program
Supports different personalities and learning styles
