Straw Rocket Workshop

Explore the world of rocketry!

Each Air Rocket Blastoff features an introduction to rocketry and Newton's Third Law of Motion, including an exploration of a real JPL rocket on display at the Hiller Aviation Museum. 

Following a demonstration, participants construct a high-performance straw rocket then launch it across the museum with a calibrated burst of air.
