You always see the phrase "it's rocket science" thrown around constantly, but when have you actually thought about what that is? In this course, taught by MIT Rocket Team, you'll see the real mathematics, physics, and engineering involved with building an ACTUAL rocket! No dumbing down, no non-applicative simplifications: just hardcore rocket science taught in a way younger students can understand :)


W15940: Launching Rockets with MIT Rocket Team in Spark 2024 (Mar. 16 - 17, 2024)
Learn to launch your own paper rockets!


E15941: It's Not Rocket Science (Wait, Yes It Is!) in HSSP Spring 2024 (Mar. 02, 2024)
Learn about rockets with MIT Rocket Team! The class will begin with a brief introduction about the basic of how rockets work. Then, we will spend each week discussing a different rocket system. We will include examples from the rockets MIT Rocket Team has built! In the last week, students will be able to model their own rocket designs based on what they've learned!
