Rise The Rise Project is a project aiming to help bring access to Rocketry and STEM to students in highschool. We worked to teach students through a project where the students were taught to create their own rocket from a model of a rocket built to fly into the atmosphere and collect data and return safely back down to the ground. We used the rocket and circuit we made to teach the students how to make their own and what it is like to build, wire and code for themselves.
Extended Source X-ray Spectroscopy Rockets Penn State works with NASA to send a rocket into space every few years. The rocket uses X-rays to scan into deep space and return the information, helping us learn more about parts of space that have not been explored. I helped work on the Payload portion of the rocket, helping to design the fastening, pinhole and grading stages for filtering the images.
