Donald L. Gilbert, Jr.,
Team Mentor, Instructor
Academic background: B.S. Mathematics – Muskingum College, New Concord, OH M.S. Physics – Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Indiana, PA Interest and Hobbies: Antique and Classic Cars, Snowmobiling, Golf, Volleyball, Computers, Landscaping, Hockey, Flea Markets, and Rocketry "My model rocketry experiences began when I was nine flying Estes rockets like the Sizzler and the Cougar. As my expertise increased, I began to build the complicated skill level 3 rockets and bigger ones such as the Mean Machine. Back then, there were a few friends that flew rockets for fun, but we never had the opportunity to compete in events such as the Team America Rocketry Challenge or the NASA Student Launch Initiative. I am so proud of the accomplishments that the Cougar Rocketry Team has been able to fulfill in the four years that I have led them. I would be quite honored to see the members of my team complete an SLI adventure without the mishaps we encountered in 2007. My "kids" make me proud each time I see the progress they make.
