Camp Description

AI Innovations is a high-energy launch into the future of aviation, aerospace, and artificial intelligence for campers ages 15-18. Campers will explore how AI enables aircraft and spacecraft to sense, learn, make decisions, and perform complex tasks while discovering the people, ideas, and technology driving the next generation of flight and exploration. Through hands-on challenges, real-world applications, and expert-led experiences, campers will think like innovators, engineers, and mission designers as they turn big questions into creative solutions.

Through real-world examples,they will see how AI is used to improve:

• Aircraft performance
• Support safer flight operations
• Analyze weather and flight data
• Assist with maintenance
• Guide to autonomous systems
• Help plan future space missions

Interactive activities and problem-solving challenges will bring these concepts to life, giving campers a firsthand look at how artificial intelligence is transforming the aerospace industry and opening exciting pathways in STEM careers.

Campers will not just hear about AI-they will see it in action. Through collaborative challenges, they will explore how computers learn from data, recognize patterns, support decision-making, and help solve complex problems in air and space. By connecting each activity to real careers and college study, campers will leave with a stronger understanding of how AI is shaping the future-and the confidence to imagine themselves as the innovators who will help build it.

Whether they are interested in aviation, engineering, computer science, robotics, maintenance, meteorology, or space exploration, campers will leave with a clearer view of how AI connects classroom learning to real-world innovation. Mission: Aerospace offers campers an exciting opportunity to explore ERAU college pathways, discover future careers, and begin imagining their place in the next generation of flight and space exploration
