Workshops 2008 - 2009

Washington County 4-H Rocketry

Wondering how to pick out a rocket kit? Confused about the best construction techniques? Want to do well at the fair?

Check out these tips:

We encourage all youth to become members of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR). They offer student membership rates and their website is here.

Upcoming Workshops and Events

All members of the Rocketry Project in Washington Co. are invited to open workshops starting in January, 2009. We will meet the second Saturday of the month (1st Saturday in April) from January through May from 9-11AM. The location may change due to space requirements (see above). The basics of model & mid-powered rocketry will be covered, along with proper rocket construction techniques.

Experienced rocketeers can learn how to design and build rockets from scratch. Most meetings will be open workshop – bring your rocket to build and we’ll supply the glue, sandpaper, and other tools.

These are meant to be 'open house' type workshops. There is some group instruction, but primarily they will be very informal. It's a way for the youth to get help in building their rocket and to get it ready for the fair.
