The first event conducted by IgnitedThinkers was in Vizag, India at Sherlie's Home. Using Estes model rockets and motors, the kids learned about the importance of aerodynamic principles and the basics of rocketry. Over 60 kids were able to see the launching of rockets and learn about the basics of physics in model rocketry. It was an amazing experience, and all the kids thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. Gitika Gorthi and Dr. Scribner are planning to conduct another workshop in the future to get these kids into space careers and to further the kids' understanding of rocketry in the future. IgnitedThinkers provided resources for kids to continue in model rocketry and space education, as well as giving awareness to these kids on how to get into the space industry.

This event was a proof of concept of future workshops IgnitedThinkers plans to host, and paves a pathway for future workshops for kids of all ages around the world.

Halley Elementary School Space Webinar
IgnitedThinkers hosted a model rocketry webinar for 150+ students attending the Title 1 school Halley Elementary School. These creative, intelligent, and passionate young students had so many ideas and were very willing to learn! IgnitedThinkers had an amazing time interacting with these students, spreading space concepts, informing them of various space careers, and inducing informational discussions amongst the students! Seeing the smiles that lit up and the buzzing curiosity amongst the students during the various space topics was truly exciting, and IgnitedThinkers can't wait to work with these amazing and intelligent students again!
Breaking stereotypes and showing the diverse children they can be in the space industry while boosting confidence was a very special interaction! IgnitedThinkers can't wait to reach out to more students!
