Make and Launch Compressed Air Rockets
Maker Faire Bay Area 2026

It all began in 2008 when Rick published his first article on Compressed Air Rockets for Make: Magazine issue 15. Since then, Air Rocket Works has brought rocket fun all over the world through launch events and kits. Back at MFBA 2026 join Air Rocket Works to build, launch and take home a compressed air rocket.
