The program offers a connected rocketry pathway, allowing students to progress from foundational design and 3D printing to mini rockets and American Rocketry Challenge preparation with mentorship from a NAR Level 2 certified lead.
The SEALS Academy Mini Rockets Course in Orange County offers students in grades 5-8 a hands-on introduction to rocketry. Participants will engage in real engineering skills by designing their own mini rockets from scratch using CAD software, including components like the nose cone, body tube, and fins. They will then utilize 3D printing to fabricate each part, gaining an understanding of material properties and assembly. The course culminates in two live rocket launches, providing practical flight testing experience. This program aims to build competition-ready skills and confidence through structured coaching and iterative practice, with mentorship from a NAR Level 2 High Power Rocketry certified lead.
A typical day involves students designing rocket components using CAD software, 3D printing their parts, assembling their mini rockets, and learning about flight testing, culminating in a rocket launch.
This course is ideal for middle school students (grades 5-8) interested in hands-on engineering, design, and rocketry, with no prior CAD or 3D printing experience required.
