Had a great evening last night running one of my rocket design workshops in DoES Liverpool. A brilliant group of people turned up from all over the place and a good time was had I think! Its the third time I have run this workshop and I cover a bit of rocket 101... how model, mid and high power rockets work and are launched and a bit about stability. We then all build an example design in the open source OpenRocket design and simulation package and the final section is I share some ideas and approaches to scratch building with a focus on using makerspace type tools but also alternatives if the snazzy stuff isn't available.
Heres a few shots from last night!
Met with a mug of tea... awesome!
Not a bad turnout with a couple of people also not in this shot!
Didn't take many shots of the different spaces but here's one!
Some very nice 3d printers including a sweet Ultimaker extended (good for BIG nosecones!)
Do we get the pun?! A cheesey rocket pizza.... Top work and great pizza was consumed!
