Honored to welcome @Astro_Woody to the @RocketContest National Finals. Thanks for your commitment to STEM education and motivating the next generation of aerospace innovators!

3D printed a jig for fin alignment and bolt mounting plates for the @L2IC_CATE Cert 1 🚀. No end to the creativity associated with rocketry 🤓. @ApogeeRockets @EstesRockets @NARRockets @RocketContest @teacher2teacher @TeachingSTEM

I was proud to share remarks on the House floor recognizing Fillmore County @Nebraska4H students for qualifying as @RocketContest national finalists!

We had a BLAST at the 2025 American Rocketry Challenge Finals (@rocketcontest) 🚀 Andre shared some model rocket facts as we watched the top 100 teams across the country partake in the world's largest student rocketry competition 🤩 @AIAspeaks #STEM #STEMeducation #Rocketry

Rocket 🚀 Club meets today @L2IC_CATE to talk about the 2024 @RocketContest . It will be an all new team with the same trip to VA dream. @EstesRockets @ApogeeRockets @NARRockets

Teach by doing. Inspiring learners to get into aerospace engineering by building a rocket 🚀 and getting level 1 certified ( I ❤️ my job) 😉 @NARRockets @ApogeeRockets @EstesRockets @RocketContest @PLTWorg @teacher2teacher @teachergoals

The “Hardrock(et)sters” @L2IC_CATE model rocket team working hard to design a double-OD single stage egg payload rocket 🚀. Goal: two designs launching in four weeks. All about @RocketContest @NARRockets @EstesRockets @ApogeeRockets @NASA

The Hard Rock(et)sters from @L2IC_CATE showing off their T’s. Today we head to the Dalzell @NARRockets field for the first flight test of two rockets 🚀 designed for the @RocketContest. Wish them luck🍀

The @L2IC_CATE rocket 🚀 team “Hard Rock(et)sters” went to the @NARRockets Freedom Launch in Dalzell today. Great takeaways from Mentor Johnny and awesome prep for @RocketContest . Team ready to start building next week. #Rockets @EstesRockets

Rocket 🚀qualification day for @RocketContest did not disappoint as @BeltonHS @BeltonCTE engineering students learned from @SpaceX engineer Theo McDonald, a contest mentor. Students are learning rocket design and problem-solving as they look to advance in the nationwide contest.

A fairly successful launch 🚀 day in Dalzell. Couple good flights and lots of great knowledge from @NARRockets members like Johnny. Got some repairs to make 🙄 before next launch. Job well done by @L2IC_CATE Hard Rock(et)-sters. 👀 u in VA for @RocketContest

Kepler … I get it … eggs are elliptical, not round. But bottom line, In the 🚀 @RocketContest if they break … it’s game over. @NARRockets @EstesRockets pic by Kaylee from @L2IC_CATE

Registration for the 2026 American Rocketry Challenge is now open via our new website url: Students launch model rockets to compete for up to $100,000 in awards and a chance to compete at the International Rocketry Challenge!

Aaaaand we’re off! The first launch of the 23-24 season and the quest to make it to the finals @RocketContest .(BTW it scored an 8).#STEMeducation @NeuquaTEE

The @L2IC_CATE “Hard Rock(et)sters” 🚀 club were given a challenge: Use 2 different body tubes, cargo bay for altimeter, design in “Open Rocket”, and get highest apogee with C6-3. And this is just practice 😜. @RocketContest @NARRockets #rockets @EstesRockets

On our way to the American Rocketry Challenge Nationals. Can’t wait to get there and compete against the best teams in the country. @RocketContest @NeuquaValley @NeuquaTEE
