Largest student rocket contest brings diversity and talent to U.S. STEM pipeline, AIA

“With the exception of a shared passion for science, math and engineering, the 100 teams that will compete in the tenth anniversary Team America Rocketry Challenge national finals this year show a stunning diversity of backgrounds and interests. The Aerospace Industries Association today unveiled this year’s roster of rocket-building finalists, which includes more than 600 students from 29 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Representing a wide cross-section of American youth, TARC teams – including an all-girl team, 4-H club, a rock band and a hockey team – bring varying perspectives and experiences to the annual competition, which is known for sparking careers in science, math and engineering.”
