As long as you have a passion for rocketry, this team is the place for you.

We can’t become rocket scientists in a day. But with Rocket Hacks and sub-team workshops over the year, you’ll learn more as you go. It’s a steep learning curve for sure, but you won’t be doing this alone.

Over the years, we’ve had a few high school Co-Op and volunteer students participate in our team activities and our engineering process. We evaluate these on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us at rocketry@uottawa.ca for more information!

In addition, we also hold booths in the STEM Complex at Open Houses.

In general, you will spend at least 5 hours a week on team-related work and meetings. If you’re part of an ongoing project like the liquid engine or design work, you may put in more time. Regardless, every Saturday, each sub-team will meet and discuss our project progress.

We use Slack! At our General Meetings (or other occasions), you will receive an invitation link to join our channels. Just be sure to add the channels that you’re interested in!
