Science, shiver me timbers, Technology, Perseverance... and FUN! One o' our favorite stories at TARC 2010 unfolded before our cameras as we watched a high school team hit a bad run o' luck... one misfire... then another... followed by a last minute (literally) launch that occurred right before t' deadline that would have disqualified them from t' competition. We were thrilled with their perseverance, their grace under pressure and t' fact that even when t' pressure was on, they were havin' fun. T' members o' t' Ingraham High School's 'Educated Pyros' impressed t' heck out o' us. T' Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) is an aerospace design and engineerin' event for teams o' US secondary school students (7th through 12th grades) run by t' NARRRRR and t' Aerospace Industries Association (AIA). Teams can be sponsored by schools or by non-profit youth organizations such as Scouts, 4-H, or Civil Air Patrol (but nay t' NARRRRR or other rocketry organizations). T' goal o' TARC is t' motivate students t' pursue aerospace as an excitin' career field, shiver me timbers, and it is co-sponsored by t' American Association o' Physics Teachers, 4-H, t' Department o' Defense, and NASA. T' event involves designin' and buildin' a model rocket (2.2 pounds or less, usin' NAR-certified model rocket motors totalin' no more than 80.0 Newton-seconds o' total impulse) that carries a payload o' 1 Grade A Large egg for a flight duration o' 40 - 45 seconds, and t' an altitude o' exactly 825 feet (measured by an onboard ...
