What is the Course?

Our Rocket Dragster program is a flagship Inspire Robotics course. It entails allowing students to have extreme freedom in designing a rocket-powered dragster to be raced against rival student teams in a competition!

Course Outline

Students are introduced to aerodynamics, rolling, friction, chemical propulsion and more!
Students explore the field of drag racing in an immersive open discussion with an expert in the field.
Students work in teams to engineer their own Rocket Dragsters.
The program culminates with an exciting Dragster Launch Competition, where the Dragsters are pinned, and their engines ignited!

Spectator Event!

This Program has the opportunity of concluding with a large event where parents are invited to come and watch! We'll provide photographers and Drone Pilots to record the event and put together a personalized video for the school that can be used for promotion!
