Hello,
This is my first post here and I just wanted to say hello and maybe get some info from some of you. This past fall, I ran a 3 week rocket club for students at the middle school where I am the assistant principal. I had about 20 kids who learned about the principles of rocketry and built and launched a variety of rockets-primarily Estes Wizards and Alphas.
I hadn't intended to go down the rocketry rabbit hole but here I find myself. Some of the students really got into it so we're going to continue with some more advanced builds and try our hand at the Reach for the Stars competition with the thought of doing TARC next year.
Just wondering if any folks here might have some helpful tips on getting (and keeping) things rolling with an after school club of this nature.
Also, I've been bitten by the rocketry bug again and have completed a few mpr builds and am currently working on an Estes Scion. I plan on contacting the nearest NAR club and getting to some launches/meeting some folks this spring.
