Mission
At ARCADE, the Purdue Northwest Rocket Team, our mission is to grow aerospace engineering at Purdue University Northwest through hands-on projects, rocketry, and research. We design, build, and test rockets and other engineering systems while proudly representing our university at competitions and technical events.

Our team is built on teamwork, safety, and attention to detail. We focus on learning by turning ideas into real projects that fly, launch, and perform. Beyond competitions, ARCADE works on a variety of engineering projects and research efforts that help members gain real-world skills.

By creating a welcoming environment for learning, creativity, and collaboration, we aim to inspire students of all backgrounds to explore aerospace engineering, innovation, and space exploration, both at Purdue Northwest and beyond.
