Activities
Organize building workshops for youth in the community (our home base is a space/ rocket-themed restaurant called Little Dipper, of which I am co-owner). Explore potential partnerships with local schools, offer to conduct introductory classes on model rocketry. Assist New England Sci Tech (a new non-profit dedicated to offering STEM education to local students) with developing model rocketry classes and invite them to launches.Launches
With help from one of Boston's City Councilors, we have been granted preliminary approval to hold club launches at Millenium Park, which is ideal for low to mid-powered rockets. We plan to host regular (probably twice a month) launches for local club members --though they will be open to the public as well. Held at Millennium Park, 300 Gardner Street, West Roxbury, MA, 02132HPR
At this point, we do not have plans to launch high power rockets. We may explore that option in the future in consultation with the Parks Dept.Meetings
We plan to host monthly meetings at Little Dipper (669a Centre Street, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130)
