PVC Stomp Rocket Launcher!
Make your own PVC Stomp Rocket Launcher with Maker Camp Leader Sandy Roberts! With just $5 worth of PVC, an old 2-liter soda bottle, and your imagination, make this easy to build, portable rocket launcher! Once you’ve built your launcher you can experiment and prototype until you create the perfect rocket for maximum flight height or distance.
