 American Rocketry Challenge

The American Rocketry Challenge (ARC) is a national competition in the United States that encourages middle and high school students to learn about aerospace engineering and rocketry. Organized by the National Association of Rocketry (NAR) and supported by various aerospace organizations, the challenge involves designing, building, and launching model rockets to meet specific goals and criteria. Participants work in teams to create a rocket that must reach a predetermined altitude and safely return a payload to the ground within a specified time frame.
