Ever wonder what makes a rocket fly--or crash? Join members of the MIT Rocket Team for a hands-on introduction to the physics and engineering behind rocketry. We will have a 50-minute lecture covering the basics of propulsion, aerodynamics, and structural design, with real-world examples from student-built rockets. Then, we will test your engineering know-how in our Egg Drop Challenge: design and build a protective capsule to keep an egg safe during a high-impact landing. No prior experience needed--just a love of space. Come launch your understanding of rocket science!
