Expand your Universe with the History
of Space Exploration and
build your own Rocket!
A S.T.E.A.M. Program
This program was a great success for "Libraries Rock" in 2018. As it continues to be a popular program, and it fits well with "Reading Expands Our Universe," I have adopted my S.T.E.A.M. program for 2027 with a new rocket design. Participants will learn about the history Space Exploration, (and debunk a few myths!) as they assemble their own Rocket. As these models are launched by using air pressure and arm strength, they may be launched either in-doors, or out, as weather permits; no chemicals or smoke inducing accelerates are used.
This program is recommended for grades 2 and up, (or ages 7 and older). Participants must have the basic Art and Craft skills such as following directions, cutting along lines, taping, and gluing; skills that are required for a personally successful program.
"It was a pleasure having you in Northborough this summer! I will say that everyone in that room came out excited and energized, talking about their rockets and what they learned in the workshop. I think you've got a winner of a program!"

"It was great to have you here in Mansfield this week presenting your rocketry and aerodynamics workshop. I am glad we had a lot of participants and that the kids were able to work together with their friends and loved ones. It was a diverse group, too, which made me happy.”
