Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium First Nations Launch Competition

Description

NASA's Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium (WSGC) is pleased to announce the 15th Annual First Nations Launch (FNL) National Rocket Competition. This competition is an opportunity for students attending a Tribal College or University (TCU), a Native American-Serving Nontribal Institution (NASNTI), or who are active members of an American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) collegiate chapter at a non-TCU/NASNTI university/college to design, build, and fly a high-powered rocket to be launched at a competition at the Richard Bong State Recreational Area in Kansasville, WI. The competition requires teams of undergraduate students to conceive, design, fabricate, and compete with high-power rockets. Please see the complete list of eligible colleges and universities on the website. FNL is a 'First Step' experience designed for students with no prior experience working with high-powered rockets. Rocket motors and dimensions are restricted by competition parameters so that the knowledge, creativity, and imagination of the students are challenged. First, applicants must register with WSGC. Then, they may submit the Grant Application Form. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the NASA Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium for more information.
