Rockets were flying high at ITC on Wednesday, February 15th. The twenty 9th-grade P-TECH students worked one-on-one with a Career Coach on a project called “Rockets to the Rescue.” Students were presented a challenge to build and launch rockets to a “deserted island” that had a catastrophic event and needed food. Students were to supply the “island” (a hula hoop on the gym floor) with food–a payload filled with raisins. Each team had three chances to hit the target and make adjustments, if needed, to the rocket or to the launcher.
