Austin Area Rocket Group

In honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, I direct your attention to AARG.org -- the Austin Area Rocket Group. I found out about this organization during one of their community education events. They have launches the first Saturday of the month, from about 9 AM until noon.

Model rockets come in all sizes from tiny ones that go a few hundred feet to large ones that go just about into space. You can get rockets that have little cameras or ones that have cargo compartments.

Lots of good science project opportunities!
