The Remote Control (R/C) Club is one of the most unique clubs in Long Beach Unified School District. No other school has a dedicated remote controlled aircraft club of our size!
The R/C Club focuses on exploring the basic principles of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) through our piloting diverse fleet of aircraft such as airplanes and drones or driving our fleet of motor and aquatic vehicles. Students are encouraged to build their own aircraft or motor vehicle as well!
Our club provides this and opportunities to participate in team competition in an effort to improve student's knowledge, teamwork skills, and professional skills. These skills are important to the overall success of the student in college and beyond.
Sato Academy's Firebreather Rocketry is the premiere amateur rocketry group in the Long Beach Unified School District. Student members hone their engineering and fabrication skills learned from their engineering courses on original rocket designs that incorporate 3D printed parts, composites, and traditional materials. Our members have flown multi-stage rockets, competed in the Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC), surpassed Mach 1 and the "mile-high" mark, and earned High-Powered Rocketry certifications from the National Association of Rocketry (NAR).
