A high-flying summertime staple is returning to Pocatello’s Tydeman Park later this month. Saturday and Sunday, June 24 and 25, from 10 a.m. to noon, Â鶹´«Ã½AV’s Department of Physics will host their Water Rocket Festival at Tydeman Park, N. 8th Avenue and E. Young Street.

Each day, the first 100 youths ages 16-years-old and younger will receive the materials needed to construct a water rocket. From there, ISU students will explain the physics of making a good rocket and help the newly-minted water rocket scientists build and launch their handmade projectiles. The builder whose rocket travels the furthest will win their own water rocket launcher.
