The Delaware AeroSpace Education Foundation (DASEF) runs weeklong summer academies in Smyrna for children entering grades 2 through 6, roughly ages 7 to 12. The full-day, STEM-focused programs are themed around ocean and dinosaur discovery, sky and space science, space-lab experiments and the principles of flight, run by a nonprofit aerospace-education organization.

★★★AMOS MOCKLooks like an interesting place. We'll have to come back when they're open. Looks like some good bike trails and parks around it.
★Christine HermesI used to love coming here. The labyrinth and walk to the water is my meditation, but for some reason they decided it's now closed to the public. Y'all just took my meditation place from me. Why? What prompted this unnecessary rule? We need appointments now? You just lost 5 people who have paid money at least once a year for your programs. Never again will we come to an event after you decided the public need not be here. I'd LOVE an explanation. Non-profit. Ha!
★★★★★Erin MThe energy, passion, and detirmination this organization has to create quality, inclusive aerospace and earth system-related experiences for our community is evident. They have shared many decades of community events, camps, educational programs and public services that help educate about aerospace sciences. Now their new building is finally finished and I hope it is a sign of more decades to come filled with even better opportunities for our kids to experience and do STEM/science related fun things. Their summer camps are excellent and very positive: from the very first day, Dr. Wright tells adults and kids to always "BE KIND!" They believe science is important but character and compassion are lifelong qualities that come first. So if you are looking for a positive, educational, and fun experience for your kids or family, keep this place on your radar.
★★★★★Michael RasmussenWonderful education center in Kent County. They have lots of programs for kids and families, plus host school trips. The Galaxy Garden is really cool. Also connected to Big Oak park for a nice playground and pavilions.
★★★Brandon WooLooks promising, but it's not actually a place yet. It's an empty building and they need more finding to produce exhibits, so hopefully they will one day get that because it would be a great place to bring kids to learn about space.
