do great things. We are truly touching the future with BARST! e journey to Becom- ing A Rocket Science Teacher has been one that started many years ago. I have enjoyed every minute of it and it will continue to be my goal to help as many teachers as pos- sible to Become A Rocket Science Teacher. Teachers deserve the best and are al- ways in need of classroom supplies and great professional developments. If you would like to support teachers going thru the BARST PD, please contact Robyn Jack- son at scrocketscienceteacher@gmail.com. Reviews From BARST Participants e NAR Rocketry workshop BARST facilitated by Robyn Jackson was very well planned and conducted. e history of rocketry, which was a plus, was blended to- gether with the science in such a way that it enhanced the program. e step-by-step process of building the rocket provided ample time and thorough explanations of the rocket components in each step. is led to a successful launch and recovery of the rocket. As a Science Lab teacher of 34 years, I would fully endorse this workshop. e science content with the hands-on ex- perience made the class one of the best I have attended.

COVID-19 created a new environment for everything including the world of education. Working from home, our families have been a part of BARST as well! ey helped do every- thing from encouraging the completion of rocket building to pushing the launch but- ton. BARST, like rocketry, pulls everyone together! It is important to not let anything get in the way of inspiring ourselves, our families, our children and our students to be bold enough to learn and get involved in new things. My journey to Becoming A Rocket Sci- ence Teacher has been better than I could imagine. For this I Bless the Lord! It is a wonderful feeling to be able to take fellow teachers, students, and family members with me. Rocketry is very fun and very educational. Christa McAuliffe said it best, "I touch the future; I teach." We must con- tinue to look for, seek out, and knock on the door of opportunity in order to touch the future in a positive way. If teachers are excited about the content students will be as well. It is critical to get students engaged in STEM activities so that later they will be more likely to go into a STEM career and Minimum Diameter Retainer Tool-Free Threaded Motor Mounts » » » Quick-Change Motor Retainers, Tailcone Motor Retainers, Min-Diam Motor Retainers, Motor Adapters Stainless Steel Ball Bearing Swivels, Stainless Steel Recovery Hardware, 1010 & 1515 Low-Drag Rail Guides 54mm to 3.9" Tailcone Retainer 75mm Flange Type Retainer 54mm Standard Retainer » phone: 858.566.2900 http://aeropack.net aeropack@san.rr.com Made in USA Suzanne Gowan is ready to build her first E2X rocket.
