Today marked the final day of the Goddard Teacher Training class. Unfortunately for me, but better for all of them, class was done by the time my lunch came around and I entered the class. Phil Houseal, was packing up his video equipment, Rebekah was packing up snacks, and coffee, and the teachers were headed out to find home again.
Mr. Matthes and I spoke briefly about the day. They spent the morning discussing Stability, and Propulsion. At the end of their time, Rebak Hyatt, spoke about the Philosophies behind rocketry.
It was my impression from the teachers that they all had a very informative and fun week, delving into the Goddard program.
July 19-23, four schools will train on the Tsiolkovsky level at Artesia Administration Building in Artesia, New Mexico. Canon City High School from Colorado, and Logan, Elida, and Animas High Schools all from New Mexico will all train with Program Director, Rebekah Hyatt. These classes are designed for Sophomore, Junior and Senior grade students whose projects are generally one pound/one mile rockets for launch at one of the spring launches.
The feature picture for today’s short article is Brazoswood’s Goddard rocket from this year. I thought it a fitting way to end the week.
