For the past five years, FCCJ’s Aviation Summer Camps have been a huge success. The two-week camps utilize aviation as a conduit for practical application of the principles of math and science theories involved in flight. Activities will include classroom instruction, research, project design/construction, plus field trips to airports, IMAX theaters, museums and the Kennedy Space Center. Flight simulators and actual training flights will be used to demonstrate theories, principles and laws of mathematics and science.
