ROCKETS ROBOTICS & ARITHMETIC

A New Opportunity for Young Engineers!

 

R3, Rockets, Robotics, and Arithmetic, is an innovative after-school and summer program centered around Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM). Created by and housed at the Memphis Academy of Science & Engineering, R3, is an incubator for the skills that have historically made this country a bastion of industrial know-how and technical might. We believe that it's high time for students in our community to play their part in regaining some of the ground lost in recent years to some of our global competitors.

​

If your family has been looking for an extension opportunity that brings together like-minded students and challenges the intellect, develops character, and exposes young engineers to internationally recognized and pedagogically sound principles, you have found your place. Students will have high-impact experiences in science courses, terrestrial and underwater robotics, rocketry, programming, computer-aided design, and arts and crafts.

​

The program is for students in Grades 6-12 and will run from September through May and three weeks in June, annually. Students will meet with design groups led by energetic and experienced teachers and industry professionals Monday-Friday afternoons till 6 pm. The program will be punctuated by culminating experiences where students compete at local, regional, and national competitions.
