Build a Rocket in Your Own Back Garden!

Learn how you can be the chief engineer and ground control crew for your own homemade rockets in this friendly workshop that makes rocket design accessible to everyone. No prior experience required, just bring your curiosity.

Rockets aren’t just for astronauts; they’re an approachable, creative hobby anyone can enjoy. We’ll cover the key ideas behind how rockets fly, show you the tools designers actually use, and finish by launching a simple bottle rocket as a group. It’s easier than you think, creative, and a really fun hobby to get into.

This event is open to everyone including families, hobbyists, students, makers and the mildly curious. No technical background necessary. All activities will follow safe, low-risk procedures; the launch uses low-power water/bottle rockets in an open area with adult supervision.
