Elliot Woodworth, Pete Rohde and August Woodworth repack the basic rockets for a second launch. The rocket program was initiated by Izzabella Rohde, the couple’s grandaughter and president of the STEM Club. She has attended space camp in Huntsville, AL and shared her interest in rocketry with her fellow STEM Club members. They will move on to more complex rockets where they cut and install fins, along with bigger engines to go highers and possibly carry a payload.
