It's (not) Rocket Science

A rocket that didn’t fly, a team that went back to try again. Watch The Rocket Equation, then hear what failure taught them.
About this Event

The Rocket Equation follows Imperial College London Rocketry, a student team trying to launch a rocket they designed and built themselves. The launch doesn’t go to plan

The team has just come back from Portugal, where they tried again. After the screening, they join an Imperial academic and an investor to talk about trial and error. What breaks? How do you regroup? How many failed attempts does it take before something works? That question applies to rockets, and just as much to starting a company.

Come for the film and stay for an honest conversation about failing, fixing and trying again. Drinks and nibbles are included.
