Rocketry
Introduction
**Rocketry – Blast Off with Science! 🚀✨🧪**
Welcome to *Rocketry* – one of the most thrilling and action-packed Science Olympiad projects! In this hands-on challenge, students become young aerospace engineers as they design, build, and launch their very own rockets. It’s all about using science, math, and imagination to send a rocket soaring through the sky — and learning a ton along the way! Whether you're launching with straws, water, or air pressure, this project is all about reaching new heights!
