The students participated in the American Rocketry Challenge. The challenge provides students with yearlong opportunity for students to gain hands-on engineering experience by designing, building, testing, and launching model rockets to meet rigorous requirements.

They are among 100 national finalists in the American Rocketry Challenge.

The students will compete against other teams at the National Finals, taking place on May 17th in The Plains, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. If you are interested in joining Columbia's Rocketry team next year, see Ms. Formby.
