There are few things more satisfying than helping young students get their model rockets ready for launch and watching their faces as the rockets shoot into the sky. While everyone would prefer to lau...

When the average person hears the word STEM, they often think about fancy science and math equations that have nothing to do with their everyday life. However, science, technology, education, and math...

We put much of our faith in bridges and the people constructing them. All it takes is one peek over the edge to give you butterflies because you realize how far down the descent is below. A bridge mus...

Learning more about model rockets can help us better control them. The model rocket engine code exists because it tells us about the rocket’s capabilities in the simplest way possible. But the novic...

Mathematics is an unavoidable subject. We all need it in life, but that doesn’t mean students jump for joy when it’s time to get out their math books. Over time, they may gain an appreciation for the ...

The principles of rocketry date back more than 2,000 years. The world didn’t develop a fascination with space after Neil Armstrong took that one giant step. Humans have been obsessed with the unknowns...

The process of building a model rocket is as much fun as launching one. The ins and outs of constructing it properly make for a successful launch. And the construction process goes beyond calculations...

NASA engineers had to start somewhere before they made it big. A high percentage of them likely started as hobbyists. But the question is: at what age did they discover their love for rockets? Some co...

It’s safe to assume all bridges start as a model first before they become life-size. Engineers and construction workers need something to reference and replicate. But before they can even attempt to c...

Model rockets are reusable. You’ll need a new engine, but the rocket can go again and again. However, that’s only possible if you get the rocket back in good condition. It needs to have a safe and sec...

One of the greatest things about model rockets is their versatility. There are so many different designs to choose from and several levels to work on. Model rockets attract a vast number of people acr...

Science is one of the greatest subjects. It’s so fulfilling because of all the assignments and projects that go with most of the lessons. It’s the one subject where you need to test out the theories a...

Educators are always looking for new ways to teach some of the more complicated and difficult subjects, like social studies. Learning should be fun. When lessons become stale and stagnant, you run the...

Model rockets have a lot of different components that help make a launch successful. The engine is one of the most important components. Understanding all the ins and outs of a model rocket makes the ...

Movie magic is a big deal. Going to the theater and seeing fiction play out on the big screen gives so many the illusion that such fantasy could be possible. Movie makers put a lot of work into these ...
