Aerospace Club

The Aerospace Club's mission is to promote and to educate students about both inner-atmospheric and outer-atmospheric flight; this ranges from planes to drones to rockets. We seek to accomplish this goal though the recruitment of guest speakers, embarking on fun and educational field trips, engaging in an annual paper airplane contest, a rocket launch competition, and exploring connections with local aviation entities. Aerospace Club is open to all grades. We hope to see you there!

 

 

Open to CMS Aerospace Club juniors and seniors only.
