About: Traveling into outer space takes enormous amounts of energy. This activity is a simple demonstration of rocket staging that Johann Schmidlap first proposed in the 16th century. when lower stage has exhausted its load of propellants, the entire stage drops away, making the upper stages more efficient in reaching higher altitudes.

Objective: To Demonstrate how rockets can achieve greater altitudes by using the technology of staging.
Description: This experiment simulates a multistage rocket launch by using two inflated balloons.

Safety glasses/goggles! Please bring a pair and if you do not have any, we do have a limited number for borrowing.

What is team night?
Team night is a more serious night of Nerf. The rules are more strict and play is much more intense. We allow modified Tag guns into play(with prior inspection).

How do get on a team or form a team?
You can show up on team night as an orphan, meaning you do not have a team. We can put you on one. Or if we have a number of orphans, they may form their own team. If you wish to form your own team, here are the things you need to know.

Teams need to consist of 4 - 8 players
• Each team needs to have a name
• Each team needs their own flag to be used in games.
• We need to receive the list of players on the team for official registration via email.
• Each team needs a captain that is responsible for communicating with the rest of their team.
