Middle School Students Soar in CNY MOST Rocket Team Challenge

On Saturday, June 4, 2022 at Syracuse University Skytop, 6 teams representing Gillette Road Middle and Roxboro Road Middle competed in an out of this world experience: the CNY MOST Rocket Team Challenge. Teams of students worked together to assemble, paint and ultimately launch rockets.   Teams were scored based on subject knowledge, apogee calculation/precision, rocket aesthetics, flight performance, and “eggstronaut” recovery/experience. Two teams from the NSCSD won awards in the competition. In the junior division, Team “It Isn’t Rocket Science” took third place, and Team “M.U.S.T.A.R.D.” took fourth place. Congratulations to all of the District’s budding astronauts!
