ATS Club

Build and launch model rockets while exploring the science behind flight and space.

Get Started

Overview

Our Rockets program ignites curiosity and excitement as students dive into the science of flight, propulsion, and aerodynamics. Through hands-on building and real test launches, kids learn how rockets work—and have a blast sending their own creations soaring into the sky.

With each project, students explore the forces that make flight possible, including thrust, lift, gravity, and drag. They experiment, test, and improve their rocket designs, learning valuable lessons about physics, engineering, and perseverance.

Along the way, they gain confidence, develop problem-solving skills, and experience the thrill of watching their ideas take flight.

Building and launching rockets helps students grasp physics concepts like force, motion, and aerodynamics in a thrilling, hands-on way.

What kids learn

  • The basic science behind rockets: Newton’s Laws, thrust, and aerodynamics
  • How to design and build stable flying models
  • The engineering process: brainstorming, prototyping, testing, and refining
  • The history and future of spaceflight and rocketry
  • Real-world applications of rockets in science, space exploration, and safety systems

Hands-on projects

  • Creating and launching chemical rockets to explore propulsion and reaction-based thrust
  • Building multi-stage rockets equipped with parachutes, payload compartments, and custom features
  • Testing how different rocket sizes and designs impact flight distance and altitude
  • Making modifications to improve stability, height, or flight path
  • Recording launch data and using it to analyze and refine their rocket designs
My son’s always dreamed of being an astronaut, so getting to launch rockets with his friends was huge for him. Definitely his favorite part of the school year.

Key benefits

  • Sparks excitement for physics, space, and engineering
  • Builds foundational STEM skills through real experimentation
  • Encourages iterative thinking and learning from failure
  • Strengthens fine motor skills and spatial reasoning
  • Gives kids something thrilling and rewarding to share at home

Getting started

Get ready for liftoff with our Rockets program—an unforgettable blend of science, engineering, and fun. Whether launching foam rockets across the schoolyard or experimenting with new designs, students experience firsthand what it means to build, test, and achieve liftoff. It’s the perfect program for young explorers with big ideas.
