Rockets!
In this 3-hour lab you will get to build your own Estes rocket with the guidance of MIT's Rocket Team! Students will learn about the anatomy of rockets and how they work. Launch is not included in this workshop, though interested students may have the opportunity to launch the rockets on a separate date (tba). Enrollment for this workshop is limited. Please pre-register to ensure that you will be able to participate.
(The MIT Rocket Team is a well established independent student group focused on rocket-related projects ranging from designing and building a custom centrifugal liquid engine, to development of lighter stronger composite airframes. In the past, the team has competed in NASA's University Student Launch Initiative in addition to providing our members with the tools and knowledge to earn amateur rocketry certifications through the National Association of Rocketry.)
[This activity is part of the Hands-On Aerospace series sponsored by Aero/Astro running Jan 11-15. Participants welcome at individual sessions, but priority may be given to registered 16.680 class members and undergraduates. See Hands-On Aerospace listing for full schedule.]
