Since 2017, under the guidance of Mr. Robert Koepke, our teams have actively participated in both ARC and NASA SLI competitions. Over the years, we have proudly earned numerous awards, showcasing our dedication and excellence.
As a team, our goal is to introduce youth to the world of aerospace engineering through rocketry. We hope to involve as much of the next generation as possible with our passion for aerospace!
AIAA OC competes nationally in the NASA Student Launch as one of the few teams selected for the rigorous program at the high school level. This project challenges us to design, build, and launch high-powered rockets with an engineering or scientific payload. Our participation in this program fosters research skills, problem-solving, and collaboration. Our rigorous testing and analysis reflect our commitment to STEM and inspiring future generations.
AIAA OC has several teams each year competing in the American Rocketry Challenge, the nation’s premier rocketry contest for middle and high school students students. Each team designs, builds, and test launches their rockets. Through hands-on experience, research, and teamwork, ARC promotes innovation and deepens our commitment to STEM,
Interested in competitive rocketry? We host annual summer camps in Orange County for students passionate about STEM and rocketry! During these camps, participants collaborate in teams to design and build their own model rockets, culminating in an exciting launch event. The camp also offers a pathway for students interested in joining our team after the program. For more information, please reach out to us via email.
