NASA rocket launch at Warm Springs Academy
The last day of school will
see the Second Annual Space
Grant Consortium and
NASA Rocket Launch at the
Warm Springs Academy.
This year the rocket sci-
ence lessons and launch will
be on Thursday, June 15.
Expect the launch in the af-
ternoon, around 3:40 p.m.
This program is made
possible through a Consor-
tium-NASA youth education
and outreach program.
Other partners have included
the Oregon Health Sciences
University, OMSI and the
University of Washington.
Warm Springs Ventures
helps coordinate the pro-
gram with the Academy staff
and science teachers.
The rocket launch dem-
onstration will be at the con-
clusion of a series of science
and math exercises for
middle school students.
A goal of the Space Grant
Consortium is to encourage
under-represented youth to
pursue careers in science,
technology, engineering and
math (STEM). A way to
help achieve this is with a
show-case event such as the
rocket launch.
The program has been
successful at other schools
in sparking the interest in
STEM curriculum among
younger students. The pro-
gram last year at the Warm
Summer work program starts later this month
The Health and Hu-
man Services Native As-
pirations Soaring for the
Future work program will
start on June 26. The
program then goes
through early August.
Soaring for the Future
provides a chance for
youth ages 14 to the col-
lege level to gain work ex-
perience with the Confed-
erated Tribes.
Participating in the pro-
gram, young people work
at various departments
around the reservation.
The Native Aspirations
team also provides of the
supervisory and work ex-
perience.
There is also a health
education component to
the Soaring for the Fu-
ture.

Springs Academy was also
very well-received.
Archery and other
projects were used to intro-
duce some of the fundamen-
tal concepts of rocketry. Cal-
culating the trajectory of an
arrow, for instance, involves
the same math principals that
apply to rockets.
