STEM Club Launch Student-Made Rockets!

As part of the STEM Club, a group of 10 enthusiastic Year 8 students have been working on building and preparing model rockets. On Thursday lunchtime, they had the opportunity to launch them from the main field, giving us all an excellent display. 

The rockets were powered by solid fuel motors and reached heights of approximately 100 metres. Each rocket was equipped with a parachute recovery system to ensure a safe descent.

Using the help of three Sixth Form students, and Science teacher, Mr Linnitt, the students used an electric launch system to fire their rockets into the air, showcasing their excellent designs. 

Well done to all involved! 

STEM Club runs every Thursday lunchtime in AD7.  All Year 7 and 8 students are welcome to come along!
