Iris Shawcroft: If you want something fun and unique one exciting thing comes to mind...Model Rocketry!Model rocketry is the hobby of building and flying model rockets. They can go anywhere from several hundred to several thousand feet in altitude at speeds upwards of 300 mph! Most hobby stores have these models for sale. Estes and Quest are the 2 main suppliers of model rocket related kits and items.As you gain experience with the hobby, you can even create your own model rocket designs rather than building the pre-made kits. There are computer programs to help you design, predict the flight characteristics of your models.Google "model rocketry" for a TON of sites and clubs that will have all the info you need. Also visit your local library or bookstore and get your hands on the book called Handbook of Model Rocketry, by G.
