A Wonderful Workshop Which I Attended

A wonderful workshop which I attended is ''Science of Flying Objects''. It was superb, we learned how to make a rocket with a parachute so that when the rocket is coming down the parachute opens and the rocket doesn't crash. We also learned all the science of rocket while doing all this, there were six session. In the first session first we had an introduction of all the participants, second we had the briefing of all the instructor's profile, third we had the introduction of the course, fourth we had a mode of communication, fifth jet engine video, sixth balloon propulsion activity. In the second session first we assembled teams, second they showed us the parts of jet powered flying object, third we made fins of a rocket, fourth learned the science involved in fins. In the third session first we saw some educational videos of flying objects, second we made a nose cone  of the rocket. In the fourth session first we made a parachute, second fixing the parachute, third explaining the other participants about the rocket everybody made. In session five we did a review of construction work from in the last session checked and fixed the functional problems with the rocket. In the last session we tested all the rockets made by teams.
