Tech Challenge - Build A Rocket!

Over the past two days, we've been working on building rockets!  In this technology challenge, we were given the usual random pile of equipment (polystyrene cups, straws, newspaper and sellotape), and asked to construct a rocket!  The criteria?
- must be more than 1m tall
- must be freestanding (you can pick it up and move it around)
- must have a seat for the pilot (Marge)
- must be well constructed and look good!

Our team work skills were put to the test as we raced to build our rockets.  In the end, all six teams were able to construct a successful rocket, and they (nearly) all looked really good!  Well done Room 8.

  1. The rocket tech challenge was a really fun challenge! Even though my group's rocket wasn't the greatest, it was still a really fun activity to be a part of. Can't wait for the next one!

  2. This was a really fun activity but with only three people it made it more of a challenge. It was a rush to get it finished in time but we had a pretty good finishing product. All the teams did really well and everyone had a rocket finished in the end.
