A 3-Day Aerospace & Engineering Experience for Middle School Students in Arlington

📍 Location: TBA
📅 Date: August 2-4, 2025 | sat - mon
🕐 Time: 9:00 aM – 5:00 PM CST

Are you ready to take STEM learning to new heights?

At Flight Deck STEM Camp, 7th and 8th grade students will build, code, and present their own airplane instrument dashboards—then take it one step further with a private tour and lunch with real aerospace engineers.

This isn’t just a camp. It’s a launchpad.

🔧 What Students Will Do:

🛠️ Design & Build a Flight Dashboard
Students will work in teams to assemble and code a working aircraft instrument panel using real sensors, microcontrollers, and 3D-printed parts.

💡 Learn Real-World Engineering & Coding
They’ll explore key STEM skills; from using gyroscopes and accelerometers to coding with Arduino and visualizing real-time data.

🏢 Tour a Local Aerospace Company
On the final day, students will step inside a leading aerospace facility in Arlington and see where the future is being built.

👩🏾‍🔧 Meet Engineers, Present Projects
Students will enjoy lunch with aerospace professionals, present their dashboards, and ask questions about careers in STEM.

🎯 Who It’s For:

  • Rising 7th–8th graders (especially GT or STEM-interested students)

  • No prior experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn

  • Limited to 15 students max for a hands-on, high-impact experience

🧠 What They'll Learn:

  • Arduino programming

  • Sensors & circuit design

  • 3D design integration

  • I²C & serial communication

  • Team-based problem solving

  • Public speaking and presentation
