A rocketry club for high schoolers run by high schoolers
We are IKAR (Interlicealne Koło Astronautyczno-Rakietowe). Together, we do fun rocketry-related projects! We currently have two branches - one at V LO im. Poniatowskiego, and one at CV LO im. Herberta - both in Warsaw, Poland.
NOTE: This is a beta version of our new website. To visit the old website (available in Polish), go to ikarkolo.wixsite.com/drugastronaikar.
