For more than 20 years, AIA and the National Association of Rocketry have brought students together through the American Rocketry Challenge (@LaunchWithARC) to design, build, and launch rockets while developing critical STEM and teamwork skills.

Through NASA's longstanding support of the competition, students are connected to the excitement of exploration and the real-world challenges that drive aerospace innovation.

Together, industry and government are helping build the future workforce that will power tomorrow's missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. #WSW2026 #WorldSpaceWeek

Art + aerospace = a pretty stellar combination. 🎨🚀

For #WorldSpaceWeek, check out ARC’s collaboration with Crayola as Marlowe explores the parts of a rocket and shows how creativity can bring STEM learning to life!
