10:00am - 5:00pm There’s always more to discover!
Stop by this hands-on activity to learn about how some rockets carry science tools—not scientists—into space, and how a special kind of rocket called “sounding rockets” can be used for quick, low-flying scientific missions into space. You can build and launch your own air rockets to help imagine the challenges and triumphs of engineering spacecraft and launching them into a specific region of the space above our planet.
Activity available 11:30am – 1:30pm
