Beginning Teen Astronomy Camp

Astronomy Camp engages students through doing. It is an immersive experience that reinforces school subjects and cultivates an understanding STEM career possibilities. Through hands-on activities and talks on topics from the Solar System to Cosmology, Campers develop skills in quantitative reasoning, problem solving, data collection, and experimentation. We also use research observatories, and equipment, which have given Tucson the title “Astronomy Capital of the World.” And Camp never really ends! We inspire and prepare the next generation of leaders through continued access to professional mentors and Camp's alumni.
