01 / WHO WE ARE

Our Club

We are made up of multiple Interlake Rocketry teams working to transform our passion for aerospace into something tangible. We participate in the American Rocketry Challenge (ARC) every year and we normally have multiple teams qualifying for ARC nationals. Last year, we had one team place 4th in the US and one team place 19th in the US!

Rocketry is team-based and we learn and grow through failure together in order to achieve success. Regardless of whether or not you have experience, if you are an Interlake High School student, you should feel free to join us!
