Battle of the Rockets
Battle of the Rockets ™, a program of the Federation of Galaxy Explorers (FoGE), is a series of competitive events held in the Spring. Each year, Galaxy Explorers introduces new and more complex event challenges. The competition comprises multiple events. Each event has unique challenges and complexities which are judged separately.
With a focus on the engineering design cycle, the events within the competition are designed to inspire students’ interest in engineering and science with an exciting hands-on competition.
The competition provides multiple levels of difficulty of engineering design challenges. These challenges are meant to continuously increase as the competitor’s skill level grows.
