LHS Rocketry Club from London ISD
The LHS rocketry team uses curriculum from SystemsGo and launches at the central Texas launch site each May. Students present their math model for transonic rockets to NASA engineers each fall for review and assistance. Most team members are in their third or fourth engineering class with me and several have also taken one or more science courses with me as well including chemistry, physics, AP chemistry and AP physics. Students of all levels are welcome in our program.
