Space: To Infinity and Beyond (SPAC) is a Baby CTY One Week Science course that goes into detail the depths of space. This course is offered at Alexandria, Brooklandville, La Jolla and Sandy Spring
Course Description
From the CTY Course Catalog (2017):
Will the sun ever become a black hole, and what would happen to the earth if it does? How long would it take to travel to another planet, and how would you know you can live there?
This course introduces students to the scope and scale of our solar system and how it fits into the universe. As students explore the moon, planets, and stars, they discuss how advances in math, science, and philosophy have shaped our understanding of the physical universe beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. Students craft their own creation stories; think critically about what items would be most useful if they were stranded on the moon; and discuss evolution, genetics, and Fermi estimation problems as they consider the likelihood of alien life. Students leave this one-week course with answers to many of their questions about space and an appreciation for the history, math, and physics concepts behind those answers.
