Rockets are not just for high school students. If you are in grades 4-9 there is a rocket program just for you. It is the Community Education Rocket Camp. It will be held in room# 401 at the Fredericksburg High School on Monday, June 6 through Thursday, June 9.
High school STEM/Rocket program instructor, Andrew Matthes and an assistant, will help each student build and launch their personal rocket. The laws of rocket stability, aerodynamics and fluid dynamics will also be taught providing students with a better understanding of the vehicle they are building and what makes it fly.
Two sessions will be held daily. The morning session will be from 9:00 a.m.-12 noon, and the afternoon session will be from 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. Camp tuition is $99 and each student will receive a camp t-shirt, and all the supplies needed to complete their vehicle.
The students will launch their vehicles during their class session on Thursday at the practice field next to the Fredericksburg Primary school. Parents are invited to watch.
This camp is a great introduction to the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics) program. It is a fun and educational way to peak your child’s interest in future learning. Plus they get to build, launch and keep their rocket as a trophy of their accomplishment.
Here is a link to the Community Education brochure for the summer session. The Rocket Camp is on page 2. The registration form is on page 8.
