The day will focus on covering the basic for starting a rocketry project like, where to source information and materials, what kind of software you can use to help you design a rocket, safety considerations and mistakes most people make. Plus providing you with the tools required to relay all this back to your branch and lead a rocketry project yourselves.<\/p>\n

Schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n
