Step into the shoes of a rocket scientist in this hands-on activity exploring rocket propulsion! Participants will:

🔧 Choose a nozzle size
💨 Select their launch pressure
🧠 Predict the perfect combination
🚀 Launch their air-powered rocket
🎯 Try to hit the target — not too powerful, not too weak!

It’s a fun and interactive way to learn the delicate balance required in real rocket science. Just like launching into orbit, too much thrust and you’re off into deep space, too little and you’re crashing back to Earth!

iLAuNCH Trailblazer – Indoor Rocket Science is part of World Science Festival Queensland’s free community day in Townsville.
