CIA presented a workshop for nine members of Champaign County 4-H and their parents on Monday, December 8, 2008. We made a presentation on model rocketry and the club, and helped each student build an Estes Generic E2X rocket, which they can decorate with stickers and markers and fly at an upcoming CIA launch.
