Fly Compton Couture: Aerospace Fashion Engineering Camp
July 7–11, 2025 | 10 AM – 3 PM | CSUDH Innovation Incubator
We are handpicking a small cohort of 10 visionary innovators to test out our S.T.E.A.M. Summer experience, where cutting-edge fashion design intersects with aerospace in a transformative experience unlike anything else. This opportunity brings together the most creative Next Gen minds, getting them involved in pioneering the future of wearable technology.
A Runway-to-Runway Experience
About the Camp:
At Fly Compton Couture’s S.T.E.A.M. Fashion Engineering Camp, creativity takes flight—literally. This isn't your average sewing circle. This is a full-throttle runway-to-runway (catwalk to cockpit) experience where bold design meets real-world aerospace challenges. Over five unforgettable days, 10 student designers will dream, sketch, build, and tech-out their very own custom, "high-fashion" inspired aviator/spacesuits—complete with wearable technology that tracks and responds to movement and biometric data, helping to illuminate and solve real problems faced by pilots and astronauts. Think motion-reactive lights, embedded sensors, GPS trackers, and high-performance fabrics that look fierce and work smart!
Guided by expert mentors from the worlds of fashion, aerospace, and engineering, students will:
Explore the history and future of flightwear and space suits
Experiment with futuristic materials and functional design
Use Fit, Form, and Function to prototype solutions for real aerospace environments
Turn their ideas into reality using sewing machines, high performance fabrics, 3D printing tools, coding tools, sensors, LED lights, and microcontrollers
And of course, we keep it stylish: Students will storyboard, design, and debut their creations on the runway in a high-energy, fashion-meets-function showcase for family, friends, and community partners.
Every student will leave with:
A custom tech'd out flight suit or fashion piece, built with purpose and dripping with style
A Fly Compton Couture swag bag packed with creative gear, logo patches, and exclusive merch
Professional project photos, a digital portfolio, and a certificate of completion
A new understanding of how their ideas can fly, and maybe even change the world
At Fly Compton Couture, The Sky Isn't the Limit…it's the Runway.
