Space Camp Spain

There are other space or science-related camps for older young people, it is specially relevant the one organized by the Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial (Aerospace Technology Institute of Spain).

Space Camp Education program assumes the following hypothesis: the youths best learn if they need/want it for their entertainment, survival or compression of the environment.

So instead of forcing them to absorb lectures and lectures of knowledge and facts given by monitors, the monitors spend most of the time explaining the basic environment of the game of living in the Space, at this point the kids are themselves in order to feel the experience as real as much as possible and they start asking and learning how the technology, science, medicine and space vehicle should be.

The activities at the camp include experimentation, mock-up fabrication, maths lectures, presentations and organization of their mission all content adequate to their age.

Ultimately the goal of the camp is to simulate the astronaut training in order to teach the kids why science, engineering and human relations and tolerance is important for their future and for living in a multicultural and multidisciplinar society, like ours.
