Steinmühle Announced the Winners of the Rocket Competition

Sign up to participate in the rocket competition, build a water-pressure-powered rocket, and launch it as high as possible on our campus! — That was the challenge issued in project-based learning to physics-enthusiastic students in 6th grade and above.

Several teams got together and began tinkering before later presenting the results of their work to an audience of STEM teachers and classmates.

The rockets could be made of any material, had to have space for an altimeter, and had to include a parachute. The key requirement was that only water-pressure propulsion was allowed.

Start in the cordoned-off area

On the day of the competition, the demonstration began at 2:00 p.m. The setup time in the specially cordoned-off area was also limited—work could not continue for more than an hour.

Finally, the moment had arrived: All the rockets took off one after another. Then it was time to determine which rockets had flown the highest. The winners were later presented with certificates and posed for a photo. They were (from left to right) Emanuel (11d), Jan (11d), Alexander (12 PoWi), Felix (10b), Sophie (6), and Junus (10c).
