Rockets on the Hill
All the TARC finalists are invited to the Rockets on the Hill event on Capitol Hill for a breakfast reception and to display their rockets for their state representatives and to meet other teams. The event was held in the Russell Senate Office Building. It was exciting to go to "The Hill."

The kids display. All teams were grouped by state. Representing New Mexico were us, Team Sigma and Highland High School. AIMS was not at this event, I think they were still traveling?
After the event and speeches Senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich sent their representatives down to meet the kids and bring them up to Senator Udall's office. It was cool because we got to take a tunnel over to their offices.
