In addition, the organization has implemented a variety of space camp options, which include astronomy, science, and robotics providing an array of learning experiences, from astronomy, physics, and astrobiology, with the same equipment used by nasa, to simulate space missions that teach leadership, teamwork, and stem principles. Other camp offerings include experience in robotics, sensors, artificial intelligence, cryptography and secret messaging, computational thinking, and 3d design and printing.
