Mavericks in the classroom.

Rocket Mavericks provides information knowledge bases, research partnerships, continuing education and educational programs and grants for members, high school students and faculty, and universities internationally.

Through the "Mavericks in the Classroom" program, high school students participate as team members, year round with our partners and members, performing real terrestrial and space flight experiments at the Mavericks Space Education Research Center, SERC, located outside Reno, Nevada.

Science and technology are suppose to be fun, hands-on experiences, but without experimentation opportunities that students can participate in, they become dull and boring subjects, closing the door on the students' interest and creativity.

These and other programs replenish the excitement and creativity associated with science and technology as a future career path or educational area of interest for our youth and society. They provide memorable opportunities upon which they may exercise and test their scientific and technological understandings of the world around them.
