Rocketry: An Introduction into How to Build and Launch Rockets. Hunter Region

Rocketry is a great way to engage your students in STEM, Engineering & Physics! Explore Rocketry from the basic working principals of rocketry and how you can incorporate rocketry into your teaching programs.

Learn how to build and launch your own rocket in this workshop. The price of the workshop includes everything you need to build and launch your first rocket "The Flash". Learn how to operate the Launch Controller and safely launch rockets.

The workshop also focuses on how to build custom rockets and use the program OpenRocket to CAD draw up the rockets. This is essential for running simulated launches to calculate the predicted apogee based upon the mass of the rocket, the motor being used and the aerodynamics of the rocket.

The safety of launching rockets will also be covered in this workshop.

Each attendee will also get to keep the custom rocket that they build on the day.

There are two ticket options; A single teacher ticket for one teacher or the School Group Ticket that is for up to 3 teachers from the same school. The Single Teacher Ticket includes 1 Custom Rocket and the Group Ticket includes 2 Custom Rockets.

Components included in the price of the workshop.

• The Flash Rocket Kit* (Includes Launch Stand, Launch Controller & Rocket) or similar launch kit
• 1 pack of A8-3 Rocket Motors (18 Motors total}
• 1 pack of Wadding (72 squares each)
• Custom rocket that will be built on the day and drawn up in OpenRocket
• 1 x 2 oz. C.A. Glue

We will also travel to a launch site to launch the rockets in the afternoon.
