Upper Primary & Middle School
Water Rocket Competition
- Water Rockets: Get basic rocket science into as many schools as possible around the country – by developing a water rocket competition and training guides that make it very easy for teachers to use water rockets as science lessons.
As a flagship programme, this should provide a low-cost, high-impact activity – both raising the foundation’s awareness and opening up dialogues with teachers and students. Through effective sponsorship arrangements, the goal would be to get water rocket kits in every school’s hands, and encouraging participation in a national competition as part of World Space Week, in 2010.
Subject to funding support, it would be ideal to send the winning participants over to the [APRSAF-18|http://www.aprsaf.org/
