Why they should join
Since 2002, the American Rocketry Challenge, the world’s largest student rocket competition, has engaged more than 95,000 middle and high school students in model rocketry. Presented by the Aerospace Industries Association and the National Association of Rocketry, the annual challenge invites students to design, build, and fly rockets to exacting requirements and gain hands-on experience solving engineering problems. The program has launched countless careers in aerospace and defense, and its alumni are helping to engineer the vehicles that will take us back to the moon, and, one day, on to Mars.
The American Rocketry Challenge is honored to have received several prestigious national and international awards over the past decade, commemorating the program’s dedication to inspiring students to explore careers in STEM and aerospace.
Teams competing in the American Rocketry Challenge have the chance to win a part of over $100,000 in prizes!
