Rocket Science for all Ages
From the neighborhood to the TARC world championships, US boys love rockets!
Our youngest boys got a lesson in rocket science from the coach of the University School Rocketry Team -- the team, that for the first time in its short 3-year history, qualified for the National Finals of the Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) Fly-Off, the largest rocketry contest in the world!
University School was one of five schools in Ohio and one of 101 teams nationwide that qualified for National Finals, to be held May 18 at Great Meadow in The Plains, VA, outside of Washington, D.C.

“The TARC competition this year provided an especially interesting challenge that the students embraced with an almost unlimited amount of energy and enthusiasm,” said Jim Seibyl, US faculty member and coach of the Rocketry Team. “Most of the team had never built a rocket much less fly one before!”
