Course Description:

Have you ever thought about how rockets fly? Or how we are going to get back to the moon on NASA’s Artemis Mission? Or how SpaceX is revolutionizing space technology for orbital flights, satellites, and multiplanetary visits? Please join me in exploring the history, physics, and the engineering design process used by NASA rocket scientists. This program involves the design, building, and flight of various rockets. Our final flight involves your handcrafted water rocket soaring into the sky. Special guest, Dr. Douglas Knight physics professor from LR will join us on our final water rocket flight followed by a mid-powered rocket flight demonstration. You will be able to take your rockets home at the end of the course.
