Launch Your Rocketry Adventure!

NARTREK Junior Program

NARTREK Junior is a program that introduces students under the age of 18 to model rocketry. There are three levels. Each level includes a reading, building, and launching segment. Each level builds upon and adds to the skills learned in the previous level. Students need to complete all three segments for each level, then submit  the requirements through the website.

As each level is completed, you will receive an Achievement Certificate. To show off your accomplishment, a cloth patch are also available for purchase in the Storefront.
