Reach for the Stars Rocket Competition

The goal of the competition is to give every kid the unique experience of building and launching a solid-fuel powered model rocket. To foster the program they have presented model rocketry workshops for teachers and youth group leaders since 1996.

To interest young minds in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) subjects – you have to get their attention. The only thing that gets more attention than a rocket launch – is a rocket competition. Focusing on winning a rocket competition means focusing on the science of flight – aeronautics.
