The Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) is a national rocket competition for middle and high school students in the United States. Organized by the National Association of Rocketry, TARC aims to inspire students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through hands-on experience in rocketry. In the competition, teams design, build, and launch their own model rockets to meet specific challenges, such as reaching a certain altitude and safely returning a payload. TARC encourages teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity, providing students with valuable skills and knowledge in engineering and physics.
