Participants will build their own air-compressed rocket, then launch it skyward using the power of air pressure! Learn the basics of aerodynamics, propulsion, and stability as you create, test, and refine your rocket for maximum lift-off.
Everyone’s invited to join the fun! This project also counts as a Junior Maker activity, designed to welcome young creators (with adult supervision) into the world of making.
Drop in anytime between 5:00 PM and 7:30 PM to build your rocket, tour our 23,000-square-foot makerspace, and discover what we’re all about.
Entry donations of $3 per participant are greatly appreciated — and always met with a smile.
Many thanks to the Greater Lynchburg Community Foundation for their support in making this educational event possible!
