My Project

These students are special because they love to make things with each other, with their families, and with community members. The activities are all relevant and real-world.

While attending a training with Estes, the rocket makers, I realized that many times passion for space and missions to explore was discovered from building, exploring, and launching model rockets as a child.

I want to provide this opportunity for these students who have never done this before using the model rockets, engines, and launch controllers. Every child deserves to be exposed to endless possibilities while developing important critical thinking skills. After all, these kids are our future.
