Projects, videos, and little descriptors of things I do
Competing in the American Rocketry Challenge in the 2024-25 season has been an incredible learning experience. From working with the Rye Fund and the Rye High School administration on funding and placement in the club system, to the actual engineering and building of the rocket on its own, leading the rocket team has been a learning journey which has helped me understand what I enjoy and what I wish to learn more about. For the 2025-26 season, we plan to field two teams with renewed funding.

Final design of the rocket.
Impulse chart for the reloadable motor I picked for the rocket.
Fin table, showcasing measurements and design parameters for the fins of the rocket.
Mass bay containing two eggs and an altimeter. The visible wire is connected to a dataport, which can be plugged into to extract data from each flight.
Wind tunnel made by me and the team for testing the parachutes and center of pressure/restoring force of the rocket. Also pictured is our 3D printer, which was used for extra fin designs and altimeter bay design. Atop the 3D printer are three fin jigs, which helped us make replacement parts later into the building cycle.
