Astronomy, Physics and Engineering campers learn science through hands-on activities

High school students from across the state participated in an Astronomy, Physics and Engineering Camp this week at UNK.

Hosted by the Department of Astronomy, Physics and Engineering, the three-day camp allowed attendees to get involved in hands-on engineering challenges and gave them a close-up look at the principles of physics that form the underpinnings of the universe. Activities included building and launching water rockets and creating pinhole cameras used to view the sun.
