Rocket Club Academy, is a first-of-its-kind career-discovery after-school program that provides children 7 to 14 years old the opportunity to explore industries in STEAM and entrepreneurship and discover their passions and interests along the way. With the help of industry leaders, Rocket Club Academy members learn by doing via the program's proprietary curriculum, picking up valuable life lessons and skills that are not taught in the traditional education system.
Every month Rocket Club's curriculum changes to a new industry. They have covered topics like Climate Science, Artificial Intelligence, The Stock Market, and Biotechnology to name a few. Our members explore industries through an entrepreneurial angle as well as learn how to build and code Robotics, learn about the applications of different coding languages as well as write code, and learn about 3D Design, and Printing. Rocket Club has been featured on Good Morning America, Forbes, and Entrepreneur Magazine for its unique approach to after-school education.
After exploring a new industry each month our members participate in an interactive review and assessment, earn their certification, and participate in a Q&A with an industry leader. Members who have become Series A Certified have gone on to work for Rocket Club Academy, join a lifelong alumni and mentorship network, use their resumes to apply to top-tier institutions, and even earn college-level HarvardX Certifications.
