Celebrate a hundred years of rocketry! In 1926, Dr. Robert H. Goddard sent the world’s first liquid-fueled rocket into the air, traveling 41 feet in 2.5 seconds. In honor of this anniversary, we invite you and your family to help us send 100 more skyward.

At this event, you’ll participate in fun and fascinating experiences:

• Build and launch your own rocket*
• Explore the science behind flight propulsion and the many ways these vehicles take to the skies
• Enjoy STEAM activities
• Attend live demonstrations of water and Estes Rockets** at 1:30, 2:30, and 3:30 pm
