    Two young students, a boy in a red hoodie and a girl in a white knit hat, are working together outdoors on what appears to be a model rocket project. They are handling rocket components including a white tube body with an orange parachute and a nose cone, likely preparing for a launch. The setting appears to be an open grassy field near school buildings.

    STARBASE Los Alamitos rocketry team members Franklin Nguyen, 13, an eighth grader from Garden Grove, left, and seventh grader Gina Rhodeghiero, also 13, of La Habra, discuss possible design changes after a practice launch of one of the team's scratch-built rockets, March 13, 2019, at Joint Forces Training Base, Los Alamitos, California. The rocketry team is competing in the Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) competition with hopes of making it to the National Fly Offs in May. STARBASE Los Alamitos, which is located on the base, is one of two DoD STARBASE campuses facilitated by the California Military Department's Youth and Community Programs Task Force. The program focuses on inspiring youth to further explore science, technology, engineering and math. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Senior Airman Crystal Housman)

    Two individuals are working together outdoors on what appears to be a model rocket mounted on a launch rail or stand. An older man wearing a wide-brimmed hat and khaki jacket observes closely while a younger person in a red sweatshirt handles wiring or igniter connections on the rocket. The setting is an open grassy field under a clear blue sky, consistent with a model rocketry launch preparation.
    A group of students and an adult instructor are gathered in what appears to be a computer lab or technology classroom. The adult, likely a teacher, is standing and engaging with several students seated in bright green chairs. The setting suggests an informal instructional or discussion session in an educational environment.
    Three young teenagers are gathered around a computer workstation in a dimly lit gaming or computer lab environment. Two boys in the foreground are focused on a monitor screen, with one operating a mouse, while a girl wearing a red and white winter beanie hat observes from behind. The scene suggests a collaborative gaming or computer activity session.
    Two individuals are viewing a Dell desktop computer monitor displaying rocket simulation software, identified as 'RockSim' or similar rocketry design application. A person wearing fingerless tactical gloves with visible tattoos is pointing at the screen, which shows a 3D flight profile visualization of a rocket launch over a green landscape. The software displays simulation data tables alongside the graphical flight profile window.
    A Trotec laser cutter is actively cutting or engraving geometric patterns into a sheet of plywood or wood veneer. The laser head is visible in the upper-left area, emitting a bright point of light with visible sparks and smoke. The wood surface displays a complex arrangement of angular, interlocking geometric shapes that have been cut or scored.
    Two young people are working with a laser cutter, arranging cut wooden and dark material pieces in a geometric pattern on the machine's bed. The foreground person is actively placing or adjusting pieces while the background person observes and assists. The setting appears to be a makerspace or classroom workshop environment.
    Two people are handling laser-cut wooden pieces on a grid cutting bed, likely inside or adjacent to a laser cutter machine. The wooden pieces appear to be arrow or chevron-shaped cutouts arranged on a black metal honeycomb grid surface. One person has a visible tattoo on their forearm and is wearing a grey sweatshirt, while a second person on the right holds a small stack of rectangular wooden pieces.
    Two young students, a boy in a red hoodie and a girl in a white knit hat, are working together outdoors on what appears to be a model rocket project. They are handling rocket components including a white tube body with an orange parachute and a nose cone, likely preparing for a launch. The setting appears to be an open grassy field near school buildings.
    A young person wearing a green beanie hat with 'CIMI' embroidery and white headphones with a lightning bolt logo is focused on an object in front of them. They appear to be participating in an outdoor educational or camp activity involving what looks like a model rocket with wooden fins. Other partially visible individuals are present around them.
    Two young teenagers are standing outdoors on a grassy field, smiling. The boy on the right is holding a white model rocket mounted on a launch rod or rail. The setting appears to be a school or recreational area, suggesting a science or hobby rocketry activity.
    A person wearing a red jacket is working with small electronic components and wiring using pliers or a small tool. The image shows close-up detail of hands manipulating what appears to be thin wires and small connectors. The work appears to involve stripping, connecting, or assembling low-voltage wiring components.
    A small model rocket is captured at the moment of launch, mounted on a vertical launch rod with visible ignition flame and white smoke billowing at its base. The rocket is white with blue tape near the nose cone and has small stabilizing fins at its base. The background shows green vegetation in the foreground, a blurred building, and a palm tree under an overcast sky.
    A model rocket is descending under a recovery parachute system against a clear blue sky. Three red parachutes are visible in a clustered deployment configuration, connected by a long suspension line to a small white rocket body below. This appears to be a high-power or model rocketry recovery event captured mid-descent.
    A young person wearing a red 'ELITE' sweatshirt and glasses walks through a green field carrying a model rocket and its orange recovery parachute. The rocket is white with a blue nose cone and metal fins, and appears to have just been retrieved after a launch. The setting appears to be an open field used for model rocketry activities.
    Two people are examining a large laser cutter or engraving machine with its lid open, revealing cut or engraved material inside. The setting appears to be a makerspace, fabrication lab, or creative studio, evidenced by artwork and prints visible on the wall in the background. One person is pointing at the machine's control panel while the other observes closely.
