Collect all 3 Mini Rocketeers Badges:
Mini Rocketeers – Designer Badge:
This is Rocket School’s first official badge, and potentially your first experience to rocketry. This badge is ideal for young kids who are excited about space!
To get this badge you have to submit your best drawing of a rocket. What shape are rockets? What can you see outside? Where is the fire coming from?
Good Luck!
Mini Rocketeer – Builder Badge:
The ‘Builder Badge’ is a great way to get hands-on at an early age. Take a cardboard tube or an old drinks bottle and recycle them into model rockets.
Perhaps, if you like lego, you could create a spaceship using them. The possibilities are endless.
Have fun!
Mini Rocketeer – Launcher Badge
The final Mini Rocketeer badge focuses on taking you to the next stage – launching your rockets!
It’s time to take what you’ve built/bought and watch it fly through the sky. This is the moment you’ve been waiting for! Get rewarded for flying rockets.
Enjoy!
