L1 Rocketry Meetings!

Sep 9, 2025
Project: L1 Rocketry

Meeting is officially Friday’s at 3:00PM for each of the next 5 workshops (including this Friday 9/12). We will be meeting in the Career Services building in room 121, CSEL-121 for this meeting, meaning next week may be somewhere different. This first meeting is going to be going over what to expect from this program, rocketry basics, and a few key ideas to have you all be thinking about for your design, so if you’re on the fence about doing this please feel free to show up and just get a feel for things, no commitment is obligated. On top of this, we have found a potential opportunity to be able to offer you guys certifications this semester. This is an ongoing problem we’re working on solving and is very very unconfirmed, but I felt that you guys should know that this is now a possibility that’s being worked on, and I’ll be keeping you all updated with any progress or changes made.
