Launching Paper Rockets and Rafting a Micro-River at East Bay Maker Faire

Source: Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers

Every October I head to one of my favorite events, the East Bay Maker Faire held at Park Day School in Oakland, CA.

My wife, son, and I focused on a handful of the projects for the duration, with lots of our time making and launching paper rockets and chasing tiny rafts down a flowing stream.

We look forward to next year, and hope to see you all there too.

The paper rocket launchpad has two stations to help lots of people get a chance to test out their build. A big red button released the valve and a very high-pressure blast of air would then blast the rocket into the air.
Some of the rockets went very high… and others blew into shreds. Ours, even with our meticulous masking tape wrapping, popped loudly into two pieces.
