AIAA GHS was thrilled to host another successful and exciting Rocket City Quiz Bowl tournament for students in the AL/MS region this past Saturday. This year’s theme celebrated the upcoming launch of the Artemis II rocket and its crew. The top 4 teams in both the middle school and high school divisions received 3D-printed Artemis II rocket trophies made by our section. The top 5 individual scorers in each division received custom AIAA-themed medals.

Congratulations to Valley Leadership Academy and Gadsden City High School, our middle school and high school champions. Other schools that placed are shown in the photos below. We applaud all the students for challenging themselves beyond the classroom, and we especially appreciate the coaches for the time they devote to their students. Cash awards, trophies, medals, and lunches were made possible through generous sponsorships from Amentum Space Exploration Division and National Space Club - Huntsville. Shout outs to Chick-fil-A University Drive and Costco in Madison for their support!

Thank you to the nearly 40 volunteers who worked hard to run a very smooth and fun event!

Last but not least, a huge thank you to the Alabama School of Cyber Technology and Engineering for being this year's host site.
