Watching a model rocket blast off the launch pad and streak toward the heavens-it's a fun and exciting experience! And preparing for a launch can even be more exciting.
Rocketry Project members will learn about engine thrust, recovery systems, stability, decision making and cooperation.
Model rocketry is timely; it's a Space Age project. The project may encourage members to explore careers in aerospace or other science fields. There's no limit to what they may explore! And you'll feel proud as you build and launch your first rockets!
Project members can also enter their rockets to the Alameda County Fair!
