Aerospace Flight Investigation

Help me give my students an opportunity to use rocket kits to study the aerodynamics of space flight. Then take what they learn to design and 3D print their own rocket design!

My Students

My students are amazing!! They are hard-working and well rounded. They are part of the engineering program at our high school. They are constantly working to increase awareness of STEM in our community. They are part of student outreach programs that reach hundreds of elementary aged students in our community. These students want to leave a legacy when they graduate and make things better for students that come after them.

My students compete nationally in engineering and have placed top 4 the last two years!

My students are constantly fundraising locally for their projects and extra opportunities. They have big plans and need a little extra help.

My Project

Students in Aerospace Engineering will explore the fundamentals of space flight! This is a six-week unit that we will begin with reverse engineering the rocket kits and entering the specifications of the rockets into a computer simulator called Open Rocket. It will then predict how high the rocket will travel with a particular rocket engine.

Then students will build the kits and test them!

Students will analyze the information from the launches and the simulator to design a rocket out of all recycled materials! They will simulate launch data then build and test their recycled rocket.

The last piece of this unit is to design a rocket from scratch using the information they have learned. First using the simulator and then Autodesk Inventor to model the rocket and then 3D print the parts! Each time launching with different motors and analyzing the effects of aerodynamics on the success of their launch!
