Limited Capacity seats available

Maybe we won’t make the moon but we will gain some altitude. Attendees will be given links to past student water bottle rocket designs to “plagiarize”. We will travel outside to launch your rocket creations (weather and discovering a launch location dependent). Depending on numbers and the supplies you bring you may have to work as a team.

The focus of the presentation is building and launching your water bottle rockets.

You must bring the following materials to build the rocket:
-2L pop bottle
-cardboard
-scissors
-duct tape
-technology to access web pages containing past student designs

I will bring limited supplies for attendees to build bottle rockets (ie. 2L pop bottle) and gather cardboard.  The weather looks promising so an outside launch should be possible.  Dress appropriately!
