Rocket Builders Lab

NYC FIRST

Kids ages 6–12 build and launch mini rockets with baking soda and vinegar during Chemistry Engineering Week 2026!

1000 St Nicholas Ave

Rocket Builders Lab is an exciting hands-on summer engineering workshop for students ages 6–12 and part of the CHEMISTRY ENGINEERING WEEK during the WH Summer Workshops Bootcamp Engineering 2026. Students will explore the science of rockets by designing and launching their own mini rockets using baking soda and vinegar chemical reactions. Throughout the workshop, participants will learn how pressure, thrust, and chemical reactions help rockets fly while exploring concepts connected to chemistry, physics, and aerospace engineering. Students will build, test, and improve their rocket designs through fun experiments, teamwork, and creative problem-solving. This interactive STEM experience encourages curiosity, confidence, and hands-on learning while giving young engineers the opportunity to explore science through exciting rocket launches and discovery. All workshops are completely free. The only requirement for participation is submitting a Washington Heights STEM Center Member Card using the following link: <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe8IUZPLZimeX4tKToVtJMBryjSCXJQH7RBY3G1yxROe7EwzQ/viewform" title="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe8IUZPLZimeX4tKToVtJMBryjSCXJQH7RBY3G1yxROe7EwzQ/viewform" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe8IUZPLZimeX4tKToVtJMBryjSCXJQH7RBY3G1yxROe7EwzQ/viewform</a>
