Get hands-on with experiments, explore real-world engineering, and complete an exciting design project. Whether you're in middle or high school, these camps are your ticket to a summer of discovery and fun in STEM!

The Nikki Kukwa Memorial Aeronautics Camp offers 20 female high school students a free, three-day aviation experience on 91¸£Àû's Kent Campus. Participants explore aviation careers through hands-on activities including a regional airport tour, experience in KSU's Air Traffic Control Lab, and a flight from the KSU Airport. This camp honors the legacy of Nikki Kukwa, a 91¸£Àû aeronautics student who championed women in aviation before her passing in 2006.

What does it take to rescue people and animals by air? In Smart City AirRescue, campers explore that question by designing an airport and rescue system using LEGO Spike robots, Ozobots, Merge Cubes, mini drones, and 3D-printed creations. Young aviators will learn about flight, emergency response, and innovative technology while building their own air rescue operations. The week culminates in an exciting Friday showcase where campers present their rescue systems!

What if robots could rescue pets, clean the environment, and make our cities safer? In Smart City RoboRescue, campers explore that question by designing their own smart city using LEGO Spike robots, Ozobots, Merge Cubes, and 3D-printed creations. Throughout the week, young engineers will tackle real-world challenges, code robots to solve problems, and build innovative solutions for safer, smarter communities. The week culminates in an exciting Friday showcase where campers present their smart cities!
