May 24, 2025

Looking for a FREE hands-on, high-flying way to spark student curiosity across subjects? Join us for Model Rocketry for Educators, a dynamic two-day professional development workshop designed for 3rd–12th grade teachers of all content areas—no prior experience required! Join Rocket facilitator Mike Griffith, for this workshop.

You’ll build and launch your own rockets, learn the science behind flight, and explore creative ways to connect rocketry to math, science, history, and language arts standards. From fizzy flyers to Estes rockets, you’ll walk away with classroom-ready activities, safety know-how, and the confidence to lead your own student launches. Regardless of your core subject area, this workshop will fuel your imagination and lift your lessons to new heights!
