Introduction to Rocketry

Our program provides an exciting platform for your students to explore the basics of rocketry and the physics that propel these incredible machines into space.

Build your own rocket

Working in teams, students will design and construct their very own water rocket, using custom-designed parts crafted in our state-of-the-art fabrication lab.

Innovate like NASA scientists

Team members work together with roles that simulate positions on a small-scale NASA launch team.

Curriculum and Information

Rocket Construction and Design

Students will build, design, and fly their very own rockets.
