CAP cadets in Arizona Wing are offered opportunities to work toward the STEM badge for Model Rocketry by participating in the activity detailed in the link below or in the alternate exercises planned by AE staff of Composite Squadron 508 in Yuma:

Squadron 508 has a sequential method of earning a STEM badge in Model Rocketry that includes classroom sessions to prepare for the three quizzes based on the information in the CAP Model Rocketry pamphlet, hands-on rocket building exercises at the squadron meeting rooms, and model rocket launches. All of our cadets are encouraged to earn this badge. We go out of our way to make this as easy as possible. This fiscal year we have already held one of the classroom sessions and have completed the hands-on rocket builds for all three modules.
All are invited to participate in our model rocket launch this Saturday, April 6th 2019 at Contreras Field from 0700 to 1000. We have the model rockets, engines, launch pads, and launch controllers for a planned 30+ rocket launches including several multi-stage rockets and two payload carrying rockets. I will provide the HARD boiled eggs. Hope to see you all there.
Thanks, Maj Kaye, for promoting the Rocketry Badge program. Btw, uncooked egg payloads would perhaps be more entertaining but messy!
