Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Rocket Contest

Someone at work just sent this one to me, looks of interest for high school, possibly middle school.
I don't know if it is something our ds9 could get into, need to read a bit more - sounds like a fun challenge!

The application for a team must come from a single school or a single U.S. incorporated non-profit youth or educational organization (excluding the National Association of Rocketry, Tripoli Rocketry Association, or any other rocket club or organization). Team members must be students who are currently enrolled in grades 7 through 12 in a U.S. school or homeschool.

This looks like a lot of fun.

It really comes down to the weight of the egg, air pressure and temp, and wind speeds!!
