Water Rocket Challenge 2018 (Schools & Companies)

The Challenge

The NPL Water Rocket Challenge has been running since 2003 with over 740 teams of six having participated. It has raised over £20,000 for charity and all proceeds from the day go towards the Shooting Star Chase children's hospice charity.

The enthusiasm for this event is spreading and this is your chance to get involved.
LiftoffOpen to schools, families, friends, colleagues, universities, businesses, youth clubs, NPL staff or anyone wishing to enter.

A day built for fun, team-building and a great spectator sport. It is a great day out which sees teams of rocketeers take to the skies with their own water rockets!

The aim is to launch a rocket powered by water/air pressure and land it in designated target zones, whilst trying to earn additional bonus points by time of flight. Your score will be your time in the air plus bonus seconds gained from landing in target zones.
