3 Day Rocketry at NASA Camp
NASA scientists
From Gunpowder to Space Vehicles
Embark on a journey through the history and evolution of rockets from humble gunpowder beginnings to the mighty space vehicles that carry humanity into the cosmos today.
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.
Data Analysis using LabVIEW
Data collected by students will be used to determine how certain factors affect the flight of a rocket.
Teamwork
Teams must work together to succeed at the distance challenge, which is a culmination of all the experiments and learning throughout the three-day camp period.
