| Team America Rocketry Challenge: Sept. 4th |
|
The Huntsville Area Rocketry Association (HARA) in cooperation with Space Camp will begin the Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) training and mentoring class at the Educator Resource Facility on Thursday, September 4, at 6:30 pm. All students, teachers and parents are welcome to come learn about TARC and how to begin designing, building and launching model rockets. This rocketry class will continue to meet once a month on first Thursdays with the next date being on 10/2. Now in its seventh year, TARC is a national rocket contest offering cash prizes, and there’s room for more north Alabama schools to participate. HARA wants to help as many middle and high schools or youth groups like 4H, CAP and scouts, to learn to launch eggs competitively. To get in to TARC this year be one of the first 750 teams to submit a completed application for a team postmarked no later than December 1, 2008. Build and fly for a qualification score before April 6, 2009, a model rocket that carries one raw egg to an altitude as close to 750 feet as possible, stays airborne for as close to 45 seconds as possible, and returns unbroken. If your score is one of the top 100 best, you will be invited to compete for a share of the $60,000 prize package in a national fly-off in Virginia on May 16, 2009.
