Abstract
Trial of hands-on education of rocket technology for university students using water rocket, which consists of structural study, propulsion system study, stability study, robust design, and flight trajectory study, has been performed. Integrating each subjects into a group of tasks, a hands-on education system of aerospace technology will become feasible. Advantage of the system is that students can verify the theory by hands-on practice. Development of recovery mechanism and launching system for water rocket will be good subjects of hands-on innovative design. Although the system has been developed mostly for university students, it can easily be converted to hands-on education system for school children.
