BEST, which standings for Boosting Engineering Science and Technology, provides middle, junior, and high school students with challenges that stretches them to reach for more. All teams start with the same materials and the only thing that stands between them and success is their imaginations. It is an all inclusive competition and requires students from all disciplines to succeed. For example, students working on constructing the robot have to communicate effectively with students who are having document their work. BEST covers all aspects from science and building to speech writing, computer presentations, CAD, public speaking, public relations, team spirit, and many many more.

The Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) is the world's largest rocket contest, sponsored by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) and the National Association of Rocketry (NAR). It was created in the fall of 2002 as a one-time celebration of the Centennial of Flight, but the enthusiasm about the event was so great that AIA and NAR were asked to hold the contest annually.
Approximately 7,000 students from across the nation compete in TARC each year. Teams design, build and fly a model rocket that reaches a specific altitude and duration determined by a set of rules developed each year. The contest is designed to encourage students to study math and science and pursue careers in aerospace. |
