Intro to Rocketry
OVERVIEW
This 8-week program was my first taste of Rockets and AIAA. This class, taught by student leaders, outlined the process of designing, building, and launching rockets. I learned about the different parts of a basic model rocket, as well as how the internal mechanisms function.
FINAL
As a team of three, informally named Delta V, I helped designed a rocket using the Open Rocket Simulation program. Once the design was approved by the course instructors, we assembled it using tubing and epoxy. The rocket was eventually launched and reached over 1600 feet.
Extracurricular
I have always enjoyed visual arts, particularly sketching and drawing. I have recently begun to explore digital art, creating commissioned portraits, business logos, and even a children's book. While this type of creative expression has been a long-standing hobby, I have also found it applicable to the engineering design process.
