CELEBRATING THE ANNIVERSARY OF ROBERT GODDARD'S GRADUATION FROM WPI.
Every year we commemorate this Anniversary and Goddard's invention of the "liquid" fuel rocket with this fantastic event!
We are inviting local schools in the Worcester area, Middle Schools and High Schools to send teams of students for this fun, competitive event. Each team (we recommend 3 - 4 students per team works best) each group of students must include a member of their school’s faculty to serve as team leader. For school groups of teams totaling 12 or more students, they must have an additional adult/assistant leader attending
WHY WATER ROCKETS?
Dr. Goddard launched the world’s first liquid fuel rocket on March 16, 1926. To honor his achievement, we thought it fitting that the participants use “liquid fuel” as well. Of course, whereas Dr. Goddard used a combustible fuel, for safety purposes we choose non-combustible water. Novices! Do not let that disturb your orbit. Track our links to the World Wide Web and marvel at the stratospheric feats of pop-bottles filled with pressurized water.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR TEAM JOINING US IN THIS FUN COMPETITIVE EVENT!
