refimprove date December 2011 The Team America Rocketry Challenge TARC is an annual United States American model rocketry competition for students in grades 7 to 12 sponsored by the Aerospace Industries Association and the National Association of Rocketry . The competition began in 2003 as a way to mark the 100th anniversary of flight, but due to a high level of interest it became an annual occurrence. It fosters interest in aerospace engineering careers among the participants, and the national Fly off in May is an opportunity for corporations, universities, and the armed services to attract students. The goal of TARC is to design, build and launch a rocket that can safely carry one or two egg food egg s and consistently come very close to a certain flight altitude and duration. Doing well involves good design, workmanship, and altitude prediction, which means that students can learn about engineering , aerodynamics , meteorology , and computer simulation from the competition. A team s score is the sum of the difference between their altitude and the target altitude and twice the difference between their duration and the target duration the lower the score, the better. Many teams consistently achieve scores less than 10.
