Come participate in a model rocketry professional development workshop for your science classes! ACTC has been awarded a NASA KY Space Grant, which is aimed at providing model rocketry workshops for secondary educators to enhance STEM education in the classroom. In these workshops, educators will:
· Engage in hands-on basic model rocket construction,
· Simulate rocket flight with OpenRocket software,
· Become familiar with model rocket altimeters, and
· Develop lesson plans
During the workshop, educators will be provided with all materials to assemble model rockets.
Rocket launching will also be demonstrated, depending on weather conditions. Educators may also be provided rocket kits for their own classrooms at a later date, depending on grant funds.
