Rocketry

Hey friends! I am going to include a bit of a 'rocketry course' here to do at home if you like. There is a guy on YouTube that shows all the steps to complete the mini rocket with pretty much all supplies you will have at home. I will post all of the tutorials and you can complete them at your own pace. When you complete your rocket contact me and I can provide you with an engine, igniter, launchpad, and launcher. Then you will actually be able to launch your rocket! Of course if you have any questions email me of get a hold of me on Google Meet!
