I'm working on getting our materials ready for a new project this year...a rocket launch! (Sorry to all of my past students for not including this before...but we still had fun right? :)<br /><br />Within your design teams it will be your responsibility to design, construct, and launch a working rocket and have it reach "space". You must stay within your budget and your goal is to actually make a profit, but be careful, you can easily fall into traps in your design that might make you lose money.<br /><br />I'm really excited about adding this to our <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">curriculum</span> this year!
