| CURRICULUM
 The
Rocketry EGGsploration Challenge™ (TREC) is
a science and imagination based competition encouraging our youth to embrace
space science and creativity.
Our goal is to provide a venue for creative
education through fun and exciting space science themed events. Our 2009 event
will be held in Parker Colorado on August 15th just south of Stroh Ranch in
Parker from 9:00am to 1:00pm.
Rocket Egg Launch
Reach for the stars and come home safely. Our Rocket Egg Launch
competition will challenge participants to design, build and launch a rocket
capable of carrying an egg over 100 feet and return it safely to Earth. Two age
groups will be participating (5-13 years & 14-19 years). Winning entries
will be those who land closest to the designated landing pad without breaking
the egg cargo. The grand prize in each age category will be a 529 college
savings account with an initial deposit into that account. Prizes will also be
given to second place, third place and the most creatively designed rocket.
Rover Egg Push
Move forward and step softly. The Rover Egg Push will entice participants
to create or modify a remote controlled vehicle of their own to be able to push
an egg around an obstacle course on a simulated alien world.
Egg Toss Competition
Learning is a family affair. We haven’t forgotten the little ones or
their parents. Our Egg Toss Competition is best described as family fun. Pairing
off into groups, our participants will take the traditional “egg toss” to
new levels of fun and excitement. By seeing who can keep their egg intact the
longest, this event will surely be a fun family challenge.
TREC CURRICULUM
Our downloadable curriculum contains everything needed to design and build a
TREC competition rocket.
