Upcoming events.
Hiller Aviation Museum — Water Rocket Rally
Discover the world of rockets!
Bring a recycled 1- or 2-liter soda bottle or purchase a new water rocket body in the Museum’s Gift Shop ($1.50/bottle) and join the rocket workshop! Use various common craft materials to convert a bottle into a high-performance rocket vehicle, then test fly it across the Museum’s Courtyard on a fountain of compressed air and water.
Participants must bring a clean, empty soda bottle (water bottles are not suitable for this activity), or may purchase one in the Museum’s Gift Shop on the day of the event.

2024 -2025 SECME Virtual National Competition - Water Bottle Rocket Design Competition
Get ready to unleash your creativity and engineering skills in the “Soar to Success” Water Bottle Rocket Design Competition! The Water Bottle Rocket Design Competition helps familiarize students with the fundamental engineering and design principles. SECME student teams will design and manufacture a Water Bottle Rocket using a clear two-liter bottle. The rocket must be propelled only by water and air. The winning rocket will have the greatest hangtime (maximum amount of time spent in the air) as measured in seconds.
Each SECME team is required to create an engineering notebook and a presentation as part of the design process.
Macomb Science Olympiad - Water Rockets
Prior to the tournament, students use 2-liter soda/pop bottles to build one or more rockets propelled by pressurized air and water. Rockets will be launched at the Tournament and time aloft recorded. The rocket that stays aloft for the longest time will win.
NPL Water Rockets Challenge
The challenge is to land an air pressurized rocket, using water as a propellant, exactly 70m from launch point, three times, with extra points for flight duration. We have a big annual festival on our site where teams compete.
