I was thinking about this recently- I occasionally hear third or fourth hand about some of the great things people are doing with model rockets in our schools and how wonderful it is such a setting (or in cadet or scouts groups etc) to get young students excited about and involved with science. but I rarely get a chance to hear about such activities first hand - i know our vendors see more of that directly but I seldom get any hint of it in the online world or my local club.
I get the feeling there are a lot of unsung heroes out there patiently and quietly promoting our hobby with the next generation and putting it to good use in furthering academic goals and inspiring our youth to maybe become the next Neil Armstrong as Mars mission astronaut or payload specialist etc.
I'd really like to hear about it directly from those teachers and other dedicated folks in our communities doing this great work-
if you're in any way involved in promoting student rocketry activities in or outside the classroom It would be great to hear about it here.
Please take a minute to tell us about what you have been up to or to "out" one of these quiet heroes in our midst that we can then bug them until they speak up and take a bow.
Cheers
