Rocketry Clubs
Weekly after-school rocketry programs led by our team on your school’s campus, where students build and test rockets through hands-on challenges after school.
Rocketry Programs That Keep Kids Launching All Year
Rocketry Labs
In-school rocketry programs that bring hands-on engineering into the school day. All Things Science assigns an instructor to lead NGSS-aligned build-and-test rocket projects across grades during school hours.
Rocketry Camps
Week-long rocketry camps where students build, test, and launch rockets throughout the week. All Things Science teaches flight basics through hands-on design challenges and real launches.
What Students Build in Our Rocketry Programs
Students design and build rockets, then test and improve their launches. They learn how stability, thrust, and aerodynamics affect flight.
Newton’s Laws
Students learn how forces and motion power every rocket launch.
Thrust
Students explore how rockets generate lift through propulsion and reaction forces.
Aerodynamics
Students test how shape, drag, and airflow affect flight performance.
Stable Design
Students build rockets that fly straight using balance and stability principles.
Engineering
Students brainstorm, prototype, test, and refine designs to improve results.
Spaceflight
Students explore how rockets support space exploration and real-world safety systems.

Rockets FAQ
Wondering what rocketry looks like for K–8 students? Here are answers on how our rocket programs work, what students build, and what they learn along the way.
What is a rocketry class for kids?
A rocketry class teaches students how rockets fly by building and testing real rocket designs. Students learn through hands-on projects that connect engineering to real flight results.
What do students do in a rocketry program?
Students build rockets, learn safe launch procedures, and test how design choices affect performance. They also track results and make improvements over time.
What do kids learn about rockets in this program?
Students learn the basics of thrust, drag, stability, and aerodynamics. They see how small changes in design can impact how a rocket launches and flies.
Is rocketry safe for elementary and middle school students?
Yes. All Things Science teaches rocketry with clear safety rules, structured activities, and close supervision. Students follow a step-by-step process designed for their age group.
Do you offer rocketry camps?
Yes. Rocketry is offered through after-school programs, in-school labs, and week-long camps depending on the season and location. Each format includes hands-on building and real testing.
