students from all school districts in South Carolina. The SOaR
Summer Camp is the state's first aviation and aerospace summer
camp. The concepts covered will include physics, complex
mathematics, basic engineering and design, problem solving skills,
and leadership skills.
Activities for the week-long camp will include a basic ground
phase flight instruction class, a Cessna 172 cross-country flight,
a history of aviation course, a physics of flight course, a Project
SOaR Leadership Academy course, a trip to the Challenger Learning
Center, a "Fun with Rockets" activity, a tour of the USC
Engineering School, basic aircraft maintenance skills course
at
the State Aeronautics Commission, "From Airfoils to Airframes" wind
tunnel activity, and a career night with guest speakers.
The Celebrate Freedom Foundation is looking for highly motivated
students who are seeking to advance their knowledge of the aviation
and aerospace fields. The foundation says the campus is designed
for 50 students, and the camp is provided at no cost. This
opportunity will not only expose students to once-in-a-lifetime
educational experiences, but also place them with employers and
employees of the top aeronautics companies of South Carolina.
Student applications are due by March 30.
