Jordan PREP (Pre-Freshman Engineering Program) students became rocket scientists for a day. They spent time in class learning about the forces of rocket flight. Then they put their learning into action by transforming 2-liter bottles into rockets, complete with nose cones, fins, and fuel tanks filled with water and compressed air. Joel P. Jensen Middle School served as the launch site as students competed to see which rocket design would fly the farthest.
Jordan PREP is a summer program that engages students in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)-based learning. The program spans three consecutive summers and puts students on track to earn a certificate from Salt Lake Community College before graduating from high school.
