With Pressure Upwards: The Foundation Course of Movement and Recoil

11.07.2026 10:00 - 12:00

Lecture (Wednesday, 08.07.2026): Why do rockets move against the direction of ejection? This module teaches basic physical principles such as recoil, pressure and conservation of momentum - clearly explained and with references to everyday phenomena and technical applications.

Internship (Saturday, 11.07.2026): Based on these foundation courses, simple water rockets are constructed, tested and gradually improved. The practical part offers space for joint experimentation, observation and discussion - including the question of which design decisions have an influence on range and stability.
