Ever wanted to build a telescope? Interested in programming unmanned robots? Excited about learning and presenting new ideas? Come explore the fun side of AeroAstro by jumping right in! “Hands-On Aerospace” is a workshop designed to show how diverse AeroAstro can be through practical, hands-on activities and demos. In this course, you will group into teams and explore one activity or concept in detail by building a hands-on demo, creating a guide/lecture to teach others how to make and use the demo, and finally showcasing it in front of other classmates. Examples of past projects include: "Build Your Own Wind-Tunnel" - "Program a Team of Unmanned Robots" - "Engineered Structures: Why Light Composites Can Lift a Heavy Plane." Not only will this workshop show you the practical applications of AeroAstro, you will help pass knowledge on to future generations by creating “demo kits” and presentations that can be used as instructional materials for outreach activities at high schools and middle schools across the country! Freshmen are particularly encouraged to participate.
