Richard H. Dinkins Early College Middle Magnet School’s AVID students took their learning to new heights today.

They dove into the Rocketry lesson inside the Innovative Learning Lab, getting true hands‑on experience with real rocketry concepts. From building to testing, they explored STEAM in a way that sparks curiosity and confidence.

Empowering students through exploration, that’s how futures are launched.
