UTS Tech Festival 2022: UTS Rocketry-101

UTS Tech Festival (June 20 – July 01, 2022 ) is a two weeks festival of events, showcases, hackathons, workshops, masterclasses, seminars, competitions, industry-student engagement and much more! Our goal is to bring together students, academics and industry to foster learning, inspiration, share ideas and promote innovation.

We’re excited to welcome you to our campus for the "Workshop: UTS Rocketry-101" which is part of the UTS Tech Festival 2022!

Event Description

Ever wondered how rockets fly? Why they’re shaped the way they are? How do they fly so high? Our Rocketry 101 workshop will answer all your questions and more! The UTS Rocketry Team has prepared a high level, fun, interactive workshop which covers rocket theory and rocket design for all levels of knowledge to enjoy. We will be covering concepts such as thrust, propulsion and stability in basic hobby rockets to give more insight into flight and how it works. This workshop includes games, interactive activities, and a little bit of construction, so prepared to get hands on!

After our workshop, join the team at 1pm to see us launch a water rocket across Alumni Green! See if you can recognize any of the concepts in motion!

About Rocketry

The UTS Rocketry student team was founded in 2017 with the purpose of bridging the gap between UTS students and Australia’s growing aerospace industry. It was established to help make knowledge more accessible, and a career within the aerospace industry more achievable for UTS students. Since then, UTS Rocketry has grown significantly and currently has over 50 members. The team provides hands on practical experiences of the concepts and theories taught in the classroom, ranging from mechanical, mechatronic, electronic and software engineering streams. Utilising the engineering design process to design, simulation, fabrication, assembly and launch high powered rockets and their payloads. Find out more about us here:

In 2021, the UTS Rocketry student team affiliated with ActivateUTS to create the UTS Rocketry Society. By affiliating with ActivateUTS, the Rocketry Society was able grow and explore the more social side of Rocketry and Engineering. The aim of the UTS Rocketry Society is to create exciting and engaging social events, enabling members to make new connections and lasting relationships. The society also hosts more technical workshops to allow members to gain knowledge and upskill. We strive to provide a welcoming experience for all, whether you’re here to make some friends, or just to love rockets!
