IEEE Richmond Presents: Missiles then Micro Brews
Come Launch a Rocket with the IEEE Richmond Chapter! Launch Rockets with Richmond's best and brightest!
Join IEEE Richmond and enjoy some outdoor fun with physics, socializing with other professionals in the area, and launching some rockets!
All IEEE members (including students, young professionals, senior members, and their families) and non-IEEE members who are interested in learning more about the organization are welcome to join us. Attendees can construct their own rocket, with the goal to use STEM principles to maximize the rocket's launch height.
For $25.00, participants will receive a rocket launch kit in addition to refreshments. For $5.00, attendees can enjoy watching launches with refreshments. IEEE is providing hot dogs, hamburgers, and a vegetarian option. Beverages will include an assortment of sodas and water. A limited number of tables, chairs, and tailgate tents will be set up throughout the area for use, but please feel free to bring your own chairs, blankets, etc.
We look forward to seeing you there! Please register before September 4th so we can get an accurate count of rockets and refreshments required. The number of rocket kits is limited – please reserve early to ensure your spot.
A post-event social gathering will be held at the Fine Creek Brewery (2425 Robert E Lee Rd, Powhatan, VA 23139) starting at 5:30 PM.
Volunteers & Sponsorship: We are currently looking for volunteers and/or sponsors! Please contact john.moody@ieee.org for more information on available volunteer & sponsorship opportunities. We could especially use help with Event Planning, Event Budgeting, Gathering Supplies, Grillmaster, Set-Up + Tear Down on the day of the event!
