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.

Alan Anderson
Retired TechEd Teacher from Rachel Carson MS, Rocketry Enthusiast
Mr. Anderson was the former Rocketry Club Sponsor in RCMS. He is the one to inspire IgnitedThinkers Founder/CEO, Gitika Gorthi, to build rockets as a hobby. He sponsored IgnitedThinkers first event by providing the 30 Alpha 3 rockets, extra parts, launchpad, and the launch controller. He is the heart and sole of the first event. Thank you Mr. Anderson!
