Sandy Springs Reads Event: Big Thinkers Rocket Launch

Sandy Springs Reads, Sandy Springs’ first annual “One Book, One City” series of events, aims to promote literacy while building a sense of community.  Sandy Springs Reads events will engage community members in discussions and activities around a common book. 

The 2012 selection is Homer Hickam's autobiographical work, Rocket Boys.

This event will feature Big Thinkers discussing the past, present and future of space travel. Children, ages 7-12 years old, will learn about propulsion, parts of the rocket, launch safety and how space travel has affected our life on Earth.
