West Virginia Aerospace and Engineering Scholars

The STEM Innovation Center at Fairmont State University in partnership with the West Virginia Aerospace and Engineering Scholars is offering a 5-day camp from August 1 through 5^th, 2014.  This “in-residence” camp is being offered at no cost to the students who will stay on the FSU campus and participate in a very hands-on curriculum whose goal is to launch a high altitude balloon with a scientific payload package by the end of the camp week.  Students will learn about the Earth’s atmosphere, physics, sensors, microcontrollers, programming and communications through a design process.
