Ever wonder what it takes to build your own rocket and launch it high in the sky? This free program is for you and your family!
The Luminarium is partnering with The Heartland Organization of Rocketry, the Nebraska Space Grant Office and NASA/Solar Systems Ambassadors to host a rocket build and launch engagement. Join us for an unique hands-on opportunity, exploring the complexities of model rocketry.
Each family will have the opportunity to build a model rocket at the Luminarium then take it outside to launch their creation! All rocket equipment and rocket motors are included, though supplies are limited to 20 rockets. Tickets will be available, first-come-first-serve at the welcome desk on the morning of the event. (Museum doors open at 10AM.)
Rocket building will happen from 10:30-11:30AM in the Luminarium. After the rockets are constructed the launch will happen on the Gallup campus, just north of Kiewit Luminarium from 12:30–1:30PM. (1001 Gallup Drive)

Where: 345 Riverfront Drive
When: July 18 | 10:30AM Rocket Build // 12:30PM Rocket Launch
