Being part of a TSTEM campus, students are expected to learn STEM principles in all disciplines. Every item purchased will aid in the instruction of those principles from teaching Newton's Laws of Physics to writing a letter to the astronauts at the International Space Station. These materials will also be used to introduce students (and especially female students) to the field of model rocketry. This 'hobby' makes a great platform for teaching students mathematics, science, engineering, and technology. Using these rocket kits and altimeters we can spark the interest of students in rocketry and then go on to have them work on teams and compete in our school's Rocketry Challenge which will not only task them with STEM skills but also with skills in project management, collaboration, and communication.
