If you are interested in rocketry, our team is the place to be. Here, you’ll find equally driven and passionate team members who share that love for rockets.
The Waterloo Rocketry Team is composed of multidisciplinary undergraduate members who have a passion for rocket engineering in a competitive hands-on environment. Each June, we compete against over 30 international teams in the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition, the largest rocket competition for undergraduate students in the world. The goal of the competition is simple; launch a rocket to an altitude target of 10,000 or 23,000 feet and recover it safely. Despite this simple goal, you’ll soon find that it’s not so easy in practice. This is literally rocket science! Mishaps and catastrophic failures are not uncommon; our most recent rocket, Vidar MK II, won Best Explosion at the competition!
In our team you can gain knowledge and experience in almost every aspect of engineering. You will learn things that would otherwise never be taught to you in the classroom. Come by our bay (E5-1008) or find us at www.waterloorocketry.com to learn more.
