Who are we?

Zotckets is a student-led rocketry organization at the University of California, Irvine, founded by undergraduates dedicated to making high-powered rocketry accessible to everyone, meaning no prior experience required. Our mission is to open the door to hands-on engineering by providing guidance for students to design, build, and launch high-powered rockets while developing the technical and teamwork skills that drive the industry forward.

​

Whether you're completely new to engineering or already passionate about rockets, Zotckets offers a supportive environment where members learn and gain valuable experience. A core focus of our club is helping students work toward earning their level 1 rocketry certification, providing structured guidance, mentorship, and project opportunities that prepare members for safe and successful certification flights.

​

At Zotckets, we believe that rocketry should be exciting, educational, and inclusive. Our team is committed to building a community where curiosity is encouraged, skills are developed, and students can launch both rockets—and their engineering futures—skyward.
