Maker Capstone: Sun Camp

For my Maker Capstone project, I designed and implemented a 5 week online Sun Camp program for 5 to 9 year olds, their families, and classmates. It featured Q&A sessions with a diverse group of Sun scientists and other experts, as well as six original hands-on projects and experiments for participants to complete. The program was offered for free to families, homeschoolers, out-of-school educational locations, and schools.

Funding was provided by NASA HEAT. The program was developed and hosted by the Science Friday Initiative.

Over 2,600 children participated. 100 families in need received free kits of materials. 25 libraries and schools in Title 1 areas were provided free materials.
