Some sessions include building, coding, and testing robots, engineering design challenges, coding, camouflage, using technology, ground school basics, flight simulator practice, conversations with real pilots, airport tours, playing games, helping at stations, talking with students, organizing supplies, and training before camp for Summer Camp Interns.
