Interested in learning how rockets work—and building one yourself? This workshop is designed to introduce participants to the science behind rocket flight and give them the opportunity to apply what they learn and friendly competition. The event is divided into three main stages:Â
Stage One: Understanding "Rocket Science"
The workshop begins with a lecture led by an expert, which they will explain the basic physics principles and structural design. The participants will gain a clear understanding of how different components work together in a rocket.
Stage Two: Rocket Building
After learning the knowledge, participants will be challenged to design and build their own rocket. A set of standard materials will be provided, the specification of the rocket will be later informed or posted on the website.Â
Stage Three: Launch and Competition
In the final stage, we’ll bring everyone together for the launch event. Each rocket will be launched toward a designated target area. Points will be awarded based on how close the rocket lands to the target, with three launch attempts per team. The team with the highest total score will receive a prize.
Date and Time:Â
Both stage 1 and stage 2 will be held on the same day, 4/26 Saturday. In the morning, you're going to learn about all the juicy physics you will have to learn to build your Own Unique Rocket. Then in the afternoon, you're going to build + test out your rocket, evaluate, and improve it.Â
