Community Involvement and Outreach Efforts

MASA supports many community outreach efforts. Some examples include:

Demonstration launches for groups such as girl scouts, boy scouts, 4H, Civil Air Patrol, and school groups.

Classes for groups about how rockets work and about elements of the hobby.

Rocket-building sessions with groups such as girl scouts, boy scouts, 4H, Civil Air Patrol, and school groups.

(We are not able to provide rocket kits and engines to groups. We can recommend local and online sources to purchase kits and engines for your group.)

Support for students in structured national rocketry programs such as the NAR/AIA Team America Rocketry Challenge or the NASA Student Launch Initiative.

Informational displays at local community festivals, the Minnesota State Fair, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) events.

Please note - while we happily support many outreach efforts, our members are volunteers and availability may be limited. Please contact us to disuss your group's needs.
