The Ultimate Mentorship: "Building CEOs, Not Just Engineers."
🚀 When Students Become Teachers: Our Rocketry Mentors Take the Stage!
What happens when you let teenagers teach rocket science and present their own work to the public? Total transformation.
At Rocketry Creations, we flip the classroom. Our advanced students don't just build—they lead workshops for younger kids and run professional exhibition booths at public events.
💡 Why Peer Mentoring Works
Deep Mastery: To teach CAD, physics, or coding simply, mentors must understand it perfectly.
Leadership & Patience: Guiding younger peers builds real-world communication and management skills.
Resilience: Mentors teach kids that launch crashes are just data, not failures.
🎪 The Power of the Public Stage
As official event exhibitors, our mentors step into the professional world:
Extreme Ownership: Presenting to the public drives them to polish their projects to perfection.
The "Elevator Pitch": They learn to explain complex engineering to anyone, from toddlers to aerospace professionals.
Resumes That Stand Out: Running a live booth gives students an incredible portfolio piece for top colleges.
👥 Join the Mission!
Whether your child wants to learn from an inspiring peer or step up to become a mentor and exhibitor, their launchpad is here.
Leo (12) – Think ouside the box
"Leo doesn't teach kids how to pass a science test; he empowers them with the technical confidence, industrial frameworks, and prototyping skills needed to build hardware that actually works."
His focus has always been to identify and cultivate his passions through deep, hands-on exploration. Driven by a natural curiosity, he dove into STEM fields early, supported in his study of diverse topics like Electric Power, Astronomy, Rocketry, and 3D Printing. His journey was never about being pushed to be "Talented," but about being encouraged to remain focused and consistent in pursuing what he loved. This dedication led him to become the youngest keynote speaker at Maker Faire OC 2023, a testament to the power of self-driven learning.
As a co-founder of Rocketry Creations, he developed a multi-STEM program to share his knowledge with the next generation. Most notably, he pushed the boundaries of amateur aerospace by designing and fabricating a fully 3D-printed rocket to compete in the 2026 American Rocketry Challenge (ARC). By successfully engineering a flight-worthy airframe entirely out of 3D-printed components—navigating the strict 650-gram weight limit and aerodynamic constraints—Leo has not only carved his own unique path but is also providing a blueprint for other young engineers to modernize traditional rocketry.
He has been invited to the Highland Space Program at UC Riverside in Spring 2026.
Karl (18) - High-Impact & Modern
Karl is a senior at Portola High School and a dedicated aerospace enthusiast with a proven track record in the air and on the launchpad. As a NAR L1 high-powered rocket license holder, Karl serves as the payload compartment co-lead for a NASA Student Launch Initiative (SLI) team, where he specializes in the design, 3D printing, and deployment of complex model rockets.
Beyond engineering, Karl is a licensed private pilot with over 100 hours of flight time accumulated over the past two years. On campus, he shares his passion for flight as the founder and president of the Aviation & Aerospace Club, leading hands-on projects and field trips to inspire the next generation of engineers.
After the hard work of his mentorship journey, he has an internship offer at an aerospace company before he graduates from high school in the summer of 2026. He continues working in the aerospace field while he is enrolled in the UCLA Aerospace Program.
