ROCKETRY PROGRAM

The Rocketry Program is a nine-week program that aims to cultivate an interest in rocket technology and provide specialty education in the aerospace field. This program is for cadets in Level 3 or higher who want to learn about rocket science in an environment that combines theory with practice and is based on NASA’s educational program. Science and experimentation go hand in hand, progressing from simple projects to building and launching solid fuel rockets. Classes will be on Fridays 7-9 PM at Maurice Lapointe H.S., starting on February 3rd.https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=-2oSqwzmL062z8c1DHbchFMyY2fSlf9PlePRK8eJD5BUMjJVS1FZVUFXTFNKTVUzTlJGRk5QNDdCVi4u 

AMATEUR RADIO

This course will set you on the path to obtain your Amateur Radio license, opening the door to a whole new world. As a radio operator, you’ll be able to communicate with people all over the continent, across the ocean, or even in space! You will learn in depth about radio and electronics, and with some extra effort at home you can pass the license exam. This license will get you a spot at an exciting youth event organized by Radio Amateurs of Canada this summer in Ottawa. 

  

Cadets aged 14+ can sign up. The course starts on January 30th, and will consist of seven sessions held weekly on Mondays 7-9 Pm at Maurice Lapointe H. S.https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=-2oSqwzmL062z8c1DHbchFMyY2fSlf9PlePRK8eJD5BUNTdFMUFPNDBLV1NDMUxVV1c2SlNBU1FUNy4u
