Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known"

About Us
Founded in 2023, the Brookline High School Rocketry Club is a student-run organization that teaches engineering and teamwork through simulating, modeling, and building low and medium-power rockets.
Many of our rockets are fully custom. We simulate flight trajectories, 3D model and print parts, then assemble and launch them with homemade electronics. We proudly competed in the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons of the American Rocketry Challenge, and we are already preparing for next year!
What We Do
Every build starts with a core idea. From there, we jump into OpenRocket to design and simulate each rocket. Once the OpenRocket looks good, we use CAD software (usually Autodesk Fusion) to 3D model and print our custom parts. Throughout the build, we constantly update our simulations with real-life weights and tweaks. Assembly varies from project to project, but we regularly make our own parachutes and use a mix of epoxy and hardware to put everything together. We even create custom electronics packages that record altitude data and deploy airbrakes! We launch our smaller rockets locally at Millennium Park, and head out to the School St. Fields in Acton for our high-power flights.

Join the Crew
We are always welcoming new members! Whether you're an aspiring aerospace engineer or just want to see something fly, there's a place for you. No prior experience in rocketry or engineering is required—we'll teach you everything from flight physics to 3D design.
-
When: Every X-Block, and often Tuesdays and Fridays after school.
