Our intermediate students had the exciting opportunity to learn about rocket science during our “Mission to Mars” workshop today, led by our visiting rocket scientist!

Students explored the science behind rockets and space exploration before watching their guest presenter bring the lesson to life with four atmospheric rocket launches. The experience continued with several exciting water rocket launches, giving students a front-row seat to the science in action!
