Rock N' Roll Rocketry Event!
It’s science! It’s math! It’s history...and quite literally, it’s a BLAST! In our Rock ’n' Roll Rocketry event, students will explore some of the principles of Newton’s Laws of Motion and the aerodynamics of flight as they construct and fly their own model rockets. We’ll discuss the critical issues of safety, collaboration, and design as we work to tackle the rocket challenge-- culminating in a spectacular launch party!
This event is for 4th - 8th graders. See the flyer for more information and register at:
