Community Outreach

We hosted a hands-on outreach event centered around the upcoming Artemis II mission, where we introduced students to the basics of human spaceflight and lunar exploration. Participants built model rockets and engaged with fun, educational coloring activities designed to spark interest in rocketry and STEM.

Join our rocketry team for an Artemis II Wet Dress Rehearsal watch party as we witness NASA's final practice run before sending humans back to the Moon! We'll be tracking the full propellant load and the high-stakes countdown to see if the ground crews can nail the procedures for the historic March launch. Come hang out, talk shop, and watch the world's most powerful rocket come to life in real-time.

Learn about the Artemis II mission, Artemis II Boarding Pass, Artemis II Virtual Guest Passport, STEM Activities & Outreaches, and Educational Videos. You can come back here, day of, to access the Google Meet link, or you can join our server for direct updates (linked at the bottom of this page along with our other socials). We look forward to seeing you!

Mentoring Team Ad Astra (Juniors), Team Hold My Booster (Seniors), Team Intersetellar (Sophomores), Team Terminal Velocity (Freshmen), and Team Avant Garde (Freshmen) in both the American Rocketry Challenge (ARC) and Rockets4Schools (R4S) competitions.

Mentoring the Energysmart American Rocketry Challenge team for the 2025-2026 season.

Received the fourth place award based on our presentation of a novel simulator, called Mach Infinity, that provided a 3D reference of our past launches using Unreal Engine.

Again, received the fourth place award based on our presentation of our Rockets4Schools payload, past rocket builds for R4S and ARC, as well as our overall presentation/booth design.

Interactive booth featuring rocket launches, engineering challenges, and Q&A sessions about our rocketry journey.

Presented our team's journey through the ARC and R4S to the First Robotics Challenge (FRC) team at Pascack Hills High School. Interacted with their team mentors, answered questions, and overall demonstrated our past success.

Presented to intermediate student children about our team and general space information (planets, planetary motion, lightspeed, etc). Provided trivia questions and developed fun activities for students to participate in.

Met with the Rocketry Club at Ocean Township Middle School and taught them about general space and dove deeper into advanced rocketry concepts. Also gave them a review of our team, the NASA SLI program (that we are currently participating in), and how they could get involved in endeavors such as ARC and R4S.

In coordination with FRC Team 1676 Pascack Pioneers and their FLL competition, we introduced many young engineers to rocketry, discussing the aspects of numerous competitions, showing our designs and experiments, and making new friends. Over the course of the day, we met children and adults from many backgrounds, truly opening the doors for current and future rocketeers.

We worked with the Edison Library to bring together a Christmas event involving rockets! One of our honorary team members dressed up as Santa and together we presented our journey, general space knowledge, and helped kids build rockets of their own.
