Program Description

Details

In this workshop presented by the McAuliffe-Shepherd Discovery Center, participants will be guided through the engineering challenge of designing a paper rocket. We will explore common aeronautical questions like: how do planes fly and how can rockets fly so high? Then participants put their new knowledge to the test as they construct a paper rocket and use our air powered launcher to send their rocket into the air— a well made rocket can go 200 feet or more!
