My Project

This upcoming school year we would like to continue our new tradition of learning to fly! This includes coding our drones, building/flying planes and, of course, launching rockets!

Launching model rockets allow my students to explore the principles of flight, safety and how to work well with each other and with their hands.

We have had the privilege of being able to launch rockets this year and my students were absolutely inspired and can’t wait to do it again! This also means that we can expect that we will have another group of excited 7th graders- ready to take on the challenge of flight.
