 Rocketry in takes off in Texas hill country high school
 

This is a very interesting video of a Fredericksburg, TX high school teacher and his annual rocketry project for his students. This yeary the goal is 100,000 feet of altitude. Over the yearys they've worked their way upwards, past 10,000 feet, past the sound barrier, and more. The students are enthused, encouraged to learn science topics that they wouldn't of otherwise, and build a sense of accomplishment and confidence.

But more importantly, this and the other schools doing this have found a way to foster interest in science, math, and physics. All tough topics that have been in decline for years. Could science programs like this lead to a resurgence of interest in these topics, as similar programs in the 50s and 60s did?
