Some are faint and almost forgotten. Others burn bright and end their lives in powerful explosions. New stars are created every day within vast clouds of gas and dust. Through every phase of their existence\, stars release the energy that powers the Universe. Journey to the furthest reaches of our galaxy and experience both the awesome beauty and destructive power of STARS. This dramatic program features the voice talent of Mark Hamill and amazing animation by the National Space Centre\, Leicester\, UK. The Nashville Symphony Orchestra\, conducted by Albert-George Schram\, resident conductor\, performed part of the original STARS soundtrack\, composed by Pip Greasley.

Program a robot to solve a challenge? Mix a shampoo formula like a real scientist? This week\, your camper doesn't just hear about famous inventors. They become one! Every day\, campers tackle a different invention challenge inspired by history's greatest minds. They'll engineer towering structures and test what makes them stand (like Benjamin Banneker)\, create their own prototype to solve a real problem (like Madam C.J. Walker)\, build working electrical circuits to light up bulbs (like Ada Lovelace)\, and explore how light bends reality with hands-on physics experiments (like Einstein). By Friday\, they'll understand what every great inventor knows: the best ideas come from trying\, testing\, and trying again. This is the week where "what if?" becomes "I built that!"
