Air-Powered Rockets: Design, Construct, & Launch (flexible time) You are guaranteed to have fun! 100% active learning! Very visual!

Jim's air-powered rocket program has become increasingly popular. This unique opportunity is now available to you and your group. Attendees of the workshop design, construct, and launch their own rocket. The materials needed to make the rockets are minimal and inexpensive. The launching of the rockets is very safe since it is powered by a bicycle pump as opposed to a rocket engine. Attendees get to keep their rocket and leave the workshop with a stronger understanding and appreciation of rocket science and aerodynamics. Jim uses his skills and experiences as a current high school science teacher and former middle school science teacher to engage the participants and make learning fun! Participants of the program have given overwhelming thumbs up!
Jim Lenz has conducted workshops for schools, boy scouts, libraries, birthday parties, a children's museum, park and recreation departments, community education programs, assisted living facilities, and at the Wisconsin Society of Science Teachers Conference.

Believe it or not). He has harvested fossils at mountain peaks up to 10,500 feet above sea level in the state of Colorado.
