In class for the 2017-2018 elective term I took the STEAM course, Rocket Science. Through this experience we, have studied about the history of space engineers and the history of spacecraft and rockets. In class we have decided to create water rockets. So we made our models and designs out of watercolor which was a super cool experience. I made my rocket and named it "Nut"; it is an ancient gods name. Through this experience we also learned a lot of math and science that we put into this project. We also went to really cool FE's which was a really good learning experience. In conclusion, in our Action Project we were given a $1,000,000 budget and we had to create a water rocket that we had to launch at the end. We included lots of mini-missions to help us complete these tasks to make our water rockets. It was a bit difficult trying to manage my time and manage the materials and the budget but, finally we launched and it was a super fun experience. We also looked at som...
