we choose to go to the moon:
the science of our nation

February 16, 2026

Our nation’s presidents have often been key figures in shaping America’s story of science and innovation. From Lincoln’s establishment of the National Academy of Sciences to Kennedy’s “Moonshot” speech, our leaders have the power to inspire generations, spark civic curiosity, and instill pride in moments of national discovery. 

This week, campers will explore the science behind the moments that moved our nation. Through hands-on experiments, creative projects, and team challenges, they’ll explore how great ideas—and great leaders—can change the world.
