SPACE CAMP 2022

WHAT IS SPACECAMP?

SpaceCamp is a space-themed camp that allows young men to deepen their knowledge of astronomy, rocketry and space technology as well as enrich their knowledge about space-related topics. Our exceptional and fascinating camp-school was first held in 2021, from August 29th to September 1st, in COAF SMART Centre which is located in Lori and surrounded by awesome nature. From August 29 to September 1, dozens of young people who excelled in the natural sciences intensively deepened their knowledge in the field of space, well as they had a good time and left the camp with an incredible love towards Space.

The SpaceCamp 2021 was held in cooperation with the Ministry of High-Tech Industry of the RA, the AYAS Armenian Aerospace Society, the COAF SMART Centre and the Armenian Model Rocketry Association.

WHAT WILL THE PARTICIPATION IN THE SPACECAMP GIVE YOU?

Education

SpaceCamp participants will enrich their knowledge about space-related topics, including Astronomy, Astronautics, Rocketry, Space Technologies, etc.

Meeting New People

During our SpaceCamp days, participants will meet with a lot of new people, have discussions with the best professionals and scientists of the field in Armenia and get important tips from them which can later be useful in building their careers.

LEISURE

Can a SpaceCamp be without space-themed movies, sun and star gazing, discussing astronomy news and playing intellectual games? So, there will be morning sport sessions, football matches and more.

PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE

Definitely, our SpaceCamp days will not be left out practical classes. We will make rocket models and launch them, test solar balloons and so on.

CERTIFICATES AND GIFTS

Finally, our participants will leave the camp with gifts, certificates and unforgettable moments that will accompany them throughout their whole lives.

Hayk Aslanyan

Adviser to the Minister of High-tech industry of RA

As one of the major entities in charge for space activities, the Ministry of High-Tech Industry has a duty to focus on education. The participants of the SpaceCamp 2021 program, who are the winners of international and national Olympiads, have a high potential of becoming outstanding scientists in space engineering. We’ve got a sincere hope that this camp would scale up their enthusiasm, and if there had to emerge at least one great inventor our camp’s mission would be considered accomplished.

Mary Zakaryan

SpaceCamp Program Manager

The educational program SpaceCamp is unique both in its content and in its supportive scientific community. The main purpose of the SpaceCamp is to provide teenagers with knowledge in the field of space technologies, space engineering and rocket modeling, and of course to orient them into the amazing world of advanced technologies.

Avetik Grigoryan

AYAS Armenian Aerospace Society Founder and Director

Every country prospers quickly if it places the importance on science and high technologies. And space and space explorations are the most interesting, science-based and high tech fields. This is our choice.

Hayk Martirosyan

Armenian Model Rocketry Association Founder and Director

If one of the participants of these courses becomes a rocket scientist in a few years, I will consider that our attempts in organizing all this were not in vain.

Bedo Demirdjian

COAF SMART Business and Operations Manager

In cooperation with the Ministry of High-Tech Industry, we are delighted to have hosted at the COAF SMART Campus in Lori the SpaceCamp 2021 for over 50 students from all over Armenia, including some of COAF SMART Citizenship beneficiaries.

SpaceCamp is a unique opportunity for the development of young people and their professional orientation. It gives a deep theoretical and practical knowledge, chance to communicate with professionals directly, get several friends having the same worldview, as well as find inspiration and support in choosing a career related to space.

Shahane Halajian

COAF SMART Programs Manager

SpaceCamp 2021 provided a chance for the students interested in natural sciences to feel Space closer and explain it scientifically. Such programs that connect people from regions and Yerevan and are focused on science help children to understand the role of science for Armenia from a very young age.

Tigran Martirosyan

SpaceCamp volunteer

One of my matchless experiences was volunteering at SpaceCamp 2021. It was engaging practice due to its diverse theoretical programs and unique intellectual events. Participants explored astronomy, space technology, and cosmology from a new point of view, and were given a chance to meet special guests and experts. Another significant aspect was that event members observed and participated in different experiments and tests.

Hakob Chakhoyan

SpaceCamp2021 participant

During SpaceCamp 2021 numerous exciting competitions, experimental observations, and seminars were organized which provided opportunities to deepen our knowledge in physics, space engineering, and astronomy. I am confident that the continuous activity of this camp will give a chance to educate the current generation, which will make Armenia one of the leading countries in space sphere.

Loreta Arzumanyan

SpaceCamp2021 participant

I had the chance to participate in SpaceCamp which combined the whole research spectra of astronautics and related fields with the active rest. Lectures of the best experts, stargazing and movie watching, launches of the rocket models gave me a huge knowledge, bright impressions, and helped me be integrated in the research programs of this field.

Aghunik Shambaryan

SpaceCamp 2021 participant

All the lecturers motivated us to keep learning, never stop learning during our whole lives, which is the most important thing that I got during the SpaceCamp.
