Bottle Rocket Launch

Last year we held our chapters first bottle rocket launch.  At the competition students built rockets from two liter soda bottles and simple household supplies.  The  resulting creations were then pressurized and launched with some amazing results.  We are looking forward to hosting the event again this year.
