Congratulations to the Somerville Rocket Club at the Argenziano for placing third at the national competition hosted by the aerospace company United Launch Alliance.

Students designed an experiment to test how liquids would react under the forces experienced during launch.

The team created an experiment to fit inside a cardboard tube that would fit into the rocket and be collected after launch.

The Somerville Rocket Club placed third overall in the competition out of dozens of teams from across the country and won a $1000 prize to be donated to their classroom.
