☀ Pack 310 Water Rocket Derby & STEM / Nova Summer Time Blast Off Event! ☀

🚀 Rocket Building Recommendations: 
You will need: 20 Oz or 2 Liter Plastic Carbonated Beverage/Soda Bottle
  1. Add Fins, Nose Cone, Etc. as desired; note that the bottle opening will go at the bottom (the nozzle fits on the launcher, see illustration). They can be made of cardboard, duct tape, or whatever works!
  2. Decorate to your hearts content! & bring your left over decorating & building materials for the "rocket building station." Do not puncture the plastic bottle while you are decorating it.
  3. Bring a second 20 Oz bottle (or 2L) filled up with water - this is the rocket's "fuel."
Note: the Dollar Store has some nice duct tape options for decorating the body of the rocket.  You can also use an old mail tube or posterboard to cover the body of the rocket as well, see below:
