About this event
Can a simple balloon rocket carry heavy cargo across the finish line? Young engineers will design, build, and test their very own string-guided spacecraft. By taping pennies onto their rockets, children will experiment first-hand with how added mass affects speed and distance. Come discover the perfect balance between weight and thrust to see if your custom payload can clear the track!
