Cairo Kids Launch Rockets More Than 200 Feet

Monday, June 2, 2008

Each day I work with about 40 youth in Cairo, IL. All this week the kids are learning about rockets during our Teen REACH/Gear UP summer program. The kids had a blast launching water bottle rockets using the Q2O Water Rocket. The Q2O system uses water and air pressure to safely send rockets more than 200 ft into the sky.
