AGSS Hampton Roads - Aerospace Workshop at North Suffolk Library!

The All Girls STEM Society again had the privilege to work with North Suffolk Public Library on March 31, 2018. AGSS did their ever-popular Aerospace workshop here, which entails the giving of a basic presentation on the physics of rocketry (lift, thrust, drag, etc.), building and flying the rockets, and of course, a trivia session. AGSS worked with about 15-20 students on how to build their rockets, and, after winning many prizes and going through the ever-rigorous 'flight inspection,' the students were brought outside to launch their creations. Most rockets went upwards of 200 ft in the air, and the students were extremely excited! The competition round followed after individual flights, where more prizes were distributed for the highest-flying rockets. All in all, this was an exciting day for both the All Girls STEM Society and all those involved. We have been invited back to work further with the Suffolk Public Libraries so stay tuned for more events!
