Amateur rocketry can be a great way to draw young could be scientists and engineers closer to the enthusiasm for STEM. The National Association of Rocketry&apos;s TARC (Team America Rocket contest - <a href="http://www.rocketcontest.org" target="_blank">www.rocketcontest.org</a>) has given tens of thousands of middle and high school students the opportunity to learn more about rocketry flying raw egg filled rockets to about 800&apos;. The Small Satellites for Secondary Students (S4Egg) program strives to move beyond just rocketry to payload science - using modern electronics + rockets to better explore our world. The 2017 S4Egg program constructs a small satellite packaged in a 3D printed egg to measure atmospheric conditions of temperature, pressure, humidity, CO2 and Total Volatile Organic Compounds. This satellite collects data during flights on TARC rockets - or bigger rockets!), crowdsources the results and looks to provide a third party source of data about air pollution
