SKC332 - Cool School: The Science of Star Wars and Space
Our youngest Star Wars fans won't want to go "rogue" in this camp that combines astronomy, physics, and biology with features of the popular Star Wars films!
Course Overview
Unleash the Force Within—Explore Science and Space Through Imagination
Calling all young explorers! The Science of Star Wars and Space is an action-packed camp designed for students in grades 1–4 who love space, science, and big adventures. This week blends astronomy, physics, and biology with the excitement of a galaxy far, far away—turning curiosity into discovery through hands-on learning.
Campers will explore real space science concepts in an age-appropriate, playful way, using stories and creative projects to make learning feel truly out of this world.
Explore Planets, Climates & “Alien” Ecosystems
Throughout the week, campers investigate what different worlds might be like—comparing the climates and habitats of fictional planets to the real science of our own solar system.
What Campers Will Discover
- How environments can vary from hot deserts to icy landscapes to lush forests.
- How plants and animals adapt to survive in different habitats.
- What makes planets unique—temperature, terrain, and weather.
- Connections between imaginative worlds and real astronomy and earth science.
Science Meets Storytelling
Campers will explore the ecosystems of iconic Star Wars-inspired planets—from desert-like worlds to snowy regions and forest habitats—while learning how creatures (like big, furry forest dwellers or tiny woodland communities) might evolve to survive in their environments.
