Sandy Springs Reads Event: Wizardry of Rocketry

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, geared for 4th graders through high school, will feature Mary Roberts, with Youth Engaged in Science (YES!), demonstrating the wizardry of rocketry through the use of Lego Mindstorm robotics. Mary is a coordinator for First Lego League (FLL), a robotics program for 9 to 14 year olds. Enjoy the evening and learn how you can start or get involved in a local FLL team.
