It's time to get excited about Model Rocketry!
Announcing MRA Class 24-4 tentatively scheduled for July 5 - 7, 2024.
Abilene Composite Squadron will be hosting the 24-4 Model Rocketry Academy on the weekend of 5 to 7 July 2024. This event will be based out of Clyde High School. The goal is to provide a STEM opportunity for Cadets to earn their rocketry badges. This cycle we will only offer the basic class. However, graduates may be invited back next year for either the Advanced Class or to be Instructors.
All students and staff will receive an academy t-shirt. All students will have the opportunity to make and take home a fizzy flyer, Goddard Rocket, Estes Alpha III Rocket, and an Green Egg Launching Rocket. Cadets who demonstrate the safe operation and have successful launch and recovery of each rocket to graduate will earn and receive a Model Rocketry Patch.
Honor Graduates even have an opportunity to earn the coveted Leadership Pin.
Graduates of this academy will meet Civil Air Patrol requirements to wear the Model Rocketry Patch and Badge.
The cost for this activity will be $85 for students and $60 for staff.
Lodging will be inside classrooms of Clyde High School. Cots will be provided. Members need to bring bedding, air mattresses, or foam padding they would like.
Student Requirements:
Students must have a complete uniform and the curry achievement.
Students will receive a model rocketry patch, Abilene MRA T-Shirt, all required rockets, and memories to last a lifetime.
