Model Rocket
The Applied Science and Engineering Club at Irvine Valley College hosted a build and launch model rocket session
While I was attending Irvine Valley College, I joined the Applied Science and Engineering Club (ASEC). I attended a couple of meetings in which we were able to learn and build mini projects in groups. For example, I attended a meeting where we were challenged to make a windmill that will gain the most voltage when put in front of a fan. However, the meeting that stood out to me was when we made model rockets. This was my first time doing anything that was related to rocket making, and I took advantage of the opportunity. I decided to build one of the more difficult rockets to make. It was taller and required different materials and supplies to make. So understandably I was nervous when the day came to launch them. In Luceren valley with the club, one by one we launched our rockets, and when it was my turn I stayed optimistic. When I saw the rocket launch into the sky and deploy its parachute, I was overcome with joy and happiness that it worked. Now, I continue to make more model rockets as a hobby and plan to launch more in the days to come.
