Sherlie's Home
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.
Visit the Sherlie's Home website to donate to their home and help support these creative and intelligent kids with basic needs and school supplies: http://childrensfund.net/
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.

Spreading Space Education GLOBALLY
Working with FCPS
Working with teachers in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) such as Ms. Donovan and Mr. Barrueco to spread space education for the FCPS Global Classroom Initiative. IgnitedThinkers is specifically am trying to work with Mr. Barrueco who has a sister in Spain working as a teacher. Their school is interested in the Global Classroom, and IgnitedThinkers is trying to make a connection with their school. We would also love to reach out to students in different countries as well.
After meeting with the FCPS Global Classroom, we decided to work together to incorporate model rocketry and space education into the FCPS school curriculum so we spread space locally and internationally. It is very exciting to imagine that space education could become a part of normal standards in student education to learn their math and science standards.
Please contact us if you have any more insight into this or would like to help with this mission.
Andhra Pradesh Digital Classrooms
Using technology to spread awareness
Andhra Pradesh government is installing digital classrooms for 5,000 schools. I am planning to collaborate with those schools and provide continuous STEM education using the different technology. Currently to do this, I am working with many Indian natives and an Indian politician.
If you would like to help donate or would like to support in this specific project please contact me.
Competition Around the World
"Competition is always a good thing. It forces us to do our best..." -Nancy Pearcey.
I am the bridge between the Indian Rocketry Association and National Association of Rocketry. We are currently planning to develop competition in India and the U.S. (a global event, in which we hope to include more countries) for rocketry. IRA and NAR will develop specifications for the rockets, and IgnitedThinkers will give workshops in these locations to introduce essential information on rockets for this competition. That will allow more students to be motivated to learn about rocketry around the globe.
Please contact IgnitedThinkers if you would like to help us in the above projects mentioned in any manner. If you have new ideas for us, please reach out! IgnitedThinkers is always open to new projects and supporters!
