Rocketry with Engineering Ambassadors

Learn about rocketry from early age China and Greece to the modern astronauts we know today. Explore the physics behind rockets. Follow along as the Engineering Ambassadors take you through time as technology changed to improve rocketry. Then we invite you to make your own straw-rocket as you investigate the effect that weight has on rocket flight!

We want to see your work! Take a photo or video and upload it here to our special TouchTomorrow virtual bulletin board!

Make a Straw Rocket!

Cindy Trac, WPI Engineering Ambassador

Hi everyone! I am a Computer Science and Data Science major. I love to make art and read (the Throne of Glass and Percy Jackson series are some of my favorites!). One of my life goals is to try boba from all around the world!

Stephen Weaver, WPI Engineering Ambassador

My name is Stephen Weaver and I am a senior studying Aerospace Engineering. I am a huge Star Wars nerd which is how I got interested in Aerospace. I also love football, hockey, and baseball as well as singing and practicing guitar.
