Rocket Competition


Wednesday Jan 23

Had students compete at NASA during the BP Physics Day Event

They had to build from scratch rockets to carry a payload as high as possible and return it to earth undamaged!

Launch videos

Rigo - 50.2meters!


Erwin - 57 meters!


Rigo got a nice plaque for 2nd place, and Erwin got an awesome trophy for first.
Plus all four students ended up with 1gig Ipod shuffles! They even gave me one!


Was a great day!
