I am NSSH's first aerospace engineering instructor. I am developing an interesting and informative class about using the engineering process to develop 3 types of rockets: a rocket that is about 10ft tall and goes one mile in the air, a rocket that is about 7ft tall and goes roughly three miles high but has to do it at twice the speed of sound, and finally a 40ft monster that actually goes to the stratosphere (100,000 ft.). At graduation I currently have a corporate sponsor ready to give a job to my students making 52k a year while training without going to college or trade school. My students are also ready to take on college in an engineering field.  There is a place for everyone to accomplish anything.
