“Our students, as most students, learn best when engaged with hands-on projects. We have incorporated as many real-world data collection opportunities as possible into our curriculum, and the rocketry project take our data collection to a whole other level. We serve many bright students who lack the means to take part in engineering hobbies outside of the school setting such as model rockets, model cars, or even Legos. Being able to supply this type of engineering and science opportunity helps open the door to scientific curiosity for so many students who have had limited experiences in this area.”

“I enjoyed seeing issues being fixed when some rockets failed.”

“I think the kids really got into launching them - especially one of my handfuls, became my expert and leader. It was interesting to see him bloom.”

“I enjoyed seeing how the different building processes and payloads affected launch day and results differently.”
— Bloomington High School Junior

“I really enjoyed having the opportunity to do this project with my students. With all of the support and supplies, this project by far surpasses anything I’ve done in the past. I believe this project was extremely beneficial for my students. I don’t think I had a student miss one day during the build and launch (about a month). I would give each section high marks. The course was very well put together.”

“I really enjoyed the hands-on activities and think they were the best parts of the course. Hands-on activities really helped me to understand the material better and increased my interest in the material by a lot.”
