Support My Level 3 Rocket Certification

Hi, my name is Derick Dinkins, and I’m an aerospace engineering student at Tuskegee University. I’m currently the Vice President and Lead Engineer of the Tuskegee University Rocket Club, and I’m actively involved in both the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE).

I’ve recently earned my Level 1 and Level 2 High Power Rocket Certifications, and I’m now working toward Level 3—a major step that will help me grow as an engineer and give my team the ability to build larger, more advanced rockets. This certification is essential not only for my personal development but also for helping our team qualify for national collegiate competitions.

I’ve had a strong passion for aerospace for as long as I can remember. My goal is to gain real-world experience that will prepare me for a career in this field and eventually contribute to the development of space technology that benefits everyone.

The funds raised will go directly toward covering the cost of materials, rocket motors, and launch fees needed to complete this certification. Any support you can give is truly appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read and support my journey.
