So after two hours and the help of an electrical and mechanical engineer, we successfully MacGyvered an air compressor, PVC pipe and duct tape into a paper rocket launch pad. Rather than just doing the activity with our group, the entire community center wanted to participate. We premade tubes for the rocket body, cones for the top, and fins and they got to decorate before we took them to the launch pad. Before each launch all of the kids counted down 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... and insisted on launching them multiple times!
Overall it was a lot of fun and a huge success. It was cool to be able to work with all of the kids and they definitely got a lot out of it.
