Team America Rocketry Challenge

 
 

Held every year, the Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC for short) pits teams of middle and high school students in heated competition designing, building, and flying a rocket capable of meeting a specific goal. This year, the goal is to fly a raw, Grade A egg to 750 feet and land it safely exactly 45 seconds after launch. Sound simple? It does... but it ain’t easy, and you’ll have to learn some rocket science along the way.

A nationwide rocket challenge for 7th-12th graders! $60,000 dollars in prizes! Rockets, money, and travel - what more can you want?

2009 Registration is now open! Go to the official site to sign up!
