Youth Participation Contest Contests:   All   Previous   Next

EMRR is happy to present a Youth Participation contest with the hopes that our guests will do something this year to get youths interested in model rocketry.

This contest also serves as a bonus item for the 2008 EMRR Challenge, but it is not necessary to participate in the Challenge to participate in this contest... but, why wouldn't you?

Contest Rules:

• Introduce or reinforcing modeling rocketry with a group (3 or more) of younger ones by building, finishing, and flying rockets with them.
• Submit a Featured Story:
  • Must be at least 2000 words describing the series of events (e.g. group, event, build sessions, flying sessions, etc)
  • Must have at least five pictures documenting the series of events
  • This can be sent in text, MS Word, or other format instead of the standard story submission form.
  • DO NOT send the full names of any young ones (<18) and even if you do, we'll remove the full names
• Contestants may only enter one (1) entry.
• All entries must be submitted by 10/1/2008 in order to be accepted.

Entry #1: Todd Mullin Helping Kids in 4H It was the late summer of 2006 when my daughter Sarah signed up for 4H to get involved in the animal raising groups. A few weeks later, after one of the community meetings, my wife let me know that she had signed Sarah up for the new 4H rocketry group and I was going to go too. Rockets?!? Well… Okay, twist my arm.
