Going to Serbia—Help Me Reach the Stars!

Hi! My name is Corey Boston, and I have some exciting news—I’ve been selected to represent Team USA at the 24th FAI World Championships for Space Models in Serbia this August 21–28, 2025!

Honestly, I didn’t see this coming. My rocket journey started in September 2023 when my mom made me take a rocketry class through the National Society of Black Engineers Jr. (Thanks, Mom).

I had no idea I’d end up loving it—or that it would change my life. With the help of my coaches, I trained for one year and competed in Colorado last summer… and to my surprise, I made the U.S. team! Now, I have the chance to go international and compete with the best of the best from around the world. But I need your help to get there.

Each student needs to raise about $5,000 to cover travel, rocket-building supplies, and equipment. I’d be so grateful if you’d consider donating—or even just sharing my story. Every bit helps! My dream is to become an Aerospace Engineer and intern at NASA before I graduate high school. This trip is a huge step toward that goal.

Thank you so much for cheering me on and being part of my journey. You can learn more about the team and program at www.firerockets.org.
