Instructor in Rocketry - Summer Portals

In the Rocketry Program, instructors collaborate with the Program Director to execute a two-week curriculum that introduces students to key concepts and practices of rocketry. Students will learn the fundamentals of model rocketry by designing, building and flying a rocket that can be used to compete in the American Rocketry Challenge (ARC) at the student’s home school.

Rocket flight fundamentals will be studied to design a model rocket that meets the rules of the 2025 ARC, open to students in U.S. schools in grades 6-12. Students will conduct flight simulations to optimize the design of the rocket. Once the design is complete, students will build, paint and add design to their rocket.

Students will then fly their completed rockets to test the accuracy of their simulations.
