Understanding Flying Objects

October 2, 2021 @ 8:00 am - 4:30 pm

This STEM program is a full-day outdoor hands-on educational day camp. In this course, students learn the physics behind flying objects and see them in application. The practical exercises use flying discs as tools to allow students to experiment and explore the physics principles. They learn to adjust flight environments and launch parameters to affect flight. Additionally, students learn the structured sport of disc golf and play a short game on the new Kopernik disc golf course. The course is suitable for K-12 students, as the exercises are scalable to age-appropriate difficulty levels. Participants learn theoretical concepts then apply them in practical exercises while engaging in competitive activities.

The event is designed as an 8.5-hour day camp. The day’s events are broken into several segments, with the culminating event being a short round of disc golf play. Much of the event is held outdoors, and the outdoor segments may be weather-permitting.
