Dear EUROAVIANS, a few weeks ago, the 12th edition of our flagship event, the Rocket Workshop 2024, took flight and it was a blast. The event was organised by EUROAVIA Bucharest between the 16th and 19th of May. The hard work of the organising team paid off and resulted in an event that was highly appreciated by the participants. Everyone involved had a great time and all the time spent organising this event was not in vain.
Being one of the most appreciated and desired events of EUROAVIA Bucharest, Rocket Workshop brings with it high expectations that have been achieved with the help of the team. Participants had fun, worked as a team, made new friends and managed to develop their skills with the help of the technical team who prepared intensively for this workshop.
The event consisted of two days for theoretical training seminars, presented by our wonderful colleagues from the technical department, one full day dedicated solely to the construction of the rocket and the final day was time for lift-off. The participants had the opportunity to customise and personalise their rockets, resulting in 15 creative and unique designs. The launches were an outstanding success, with many rockets reaching altitudes of over 500 metres. Even the demo rocket took off!
Over the course of four long but fun days it was shown to us what true cooperation means by the 100 participants and trainers, in order to achieve the ultimate task of designing and building their very own functional model rocket. This was the last of our technical events of the current academic year and it has been a unique opportunity not only for aerospace enthusiasts, but also for everyone wanting to try a new experience and learn new and important skills.
We would like to thank our trainers and volunteers in the logistics team for coordinating this event behind the scenes, and a huge thanks to our sponsors for making the event possible. Every single person involved was extremely important and helpful in making this wonderful event happen.
Given that this year’s edition was a massive success we would like to thank everyone involved again and hopefully we’ll meet again next year for an even better one.
See you space cowboys!
