Ready for lift off in 3... 2... 1... Experience the excitement of building and launch your own rocket prototypes. Designed to introduce the basic rocketry concepts of Newtonʼs Laws of Motion and the Engineering Design Process we will create our own air powered rockets, rocket cars, and payload rockets.

Rocketeers is an exciting semester-long, hands-on course for students ages 6-10, designed to ignite curiosity in rocketry and engineering. Students will explore fundamental concepts in rocketry, including Newton’s Laws of Motion and the Engineering Design Process, as they create and test various rocket prototypes. Activities range from building balloon-powered rocket cars to designing payload rockets and experimenting with launch angles. Each session emphasizes hands-on learning and problem-solving, empowering students to discover the science behind flight and propulsion in an engaging environment.
