HYDRO ROCKETRY & MODEL ROCKETRY

BRAHMSHALA SCHOOL OF ASTRONOMY organizes a ‘Hydro-Rocketry’ competition for schools and colleges. In this competition, students launch rockets made with common material, by adding water and pressurizing it with air for launching. Water rockets have been a source of entertainment and education for many years. The objective of this program is to arouse enthusiasm amongst students towards Rocketry and to demonstrate the scientific principles of rocketry and aeronautics in a ‘Hands-on Activity’ way. These workshops aim to train students in the designing of model rockets. Students deal with the principle of the rocket and make different designs to get maximum height. Students know the process of fabrication and the working of the rockets and their engines. Students make their models/designs in groups or individually and launch. They measure the height of the rocket using trigonometry and the highest height gainer gets awarded. Few experiences can compare with the excitement and thrill of watching a rocket-powered vehicle, such as the Space Shuttle, thunder into space. Dreams of rocket flight to distant worlds are the imagination of both children and adults. With some simple and inexpensive materials, you can mount an exciting and productive unit about rockets for children that incorporates science, mathematics, and technology education. We give a workshop on Model rocketry also, which is the First step to outer space. Aspiring rocket engineers are provided the opportunity to make the Exact model of rockets so they are able to know the basics of rocket science, its aerodynamics, Flight dynamics, and how the rocket gets propulsion.
