Yesterday was one of the best days of my life. Everything went great! I refine the bootcamp with every iteration. I love doing this so much. I’m very grateful to everyone helping me. Indy will have the highest rockets per capita in the world! 🌎 🚀

I’m teaching 100 unique kids and 50 unique adult volunteers how to build and launch high power rockets. I’m doing it in 4 rounds up to Large and Dangerous Rocket Ships (LDRS) next year. Each round has 20-30 kids and 10-15 volunteers. My first round was in August and I’m in the middle of my second one. Each round has its own launch day and at LDRS I’m taking everyone there for us to fly all 150 together.

After this round I’ll have 60 out of 150 rockets and rocketeers. On track for LDRS next year in April.

    Thats a cool Hobby! My bro used to run the science club for rocket building in HS, until the budget got chopped!

    Man, one of kids would absolutely lose his mind if he could attend something like this! He, along with his best friend, are even creating an aviation club at their school with a focus on rocket building.

    So cool what you’re doing!

    With my ADHD it’s hard for me to remember anyone I see on Reddit. You are an exception. I love the work you’re doing.
