Black Rocket - 3rd-5th
The magic in every student comes to life as never before when they are empowered to be as creative as they were all born to be! Black Rocket has more than 20 years of experience designing courses in the S.T.E.A.M fields. Every program is powered by the child’s innate imagination and designed to bring their ideas to life in a fun, hands-on learning environment. All Black Rocket programs mirror real-life experiences and the collaborative nature of the design process. Student projects will be available on a password-protected Black Rocket website to share with friends and family. Students will work in pairs or teams for most of the program. Returning students can create more advanced projects that build on previous years. No prior experience is necessary, just a desire to have fun!
