CanSat @ VT is exhibiting on March 26!!

Ever wondered what goes into the science of a parachute? Virginia Tech's CanSat design team is presenting a hands-on activity where kids can learn about aerodynamics while creating and designing their very own parachute!

CanSat @ VT is in its third year at Virginia Tech. We compete in a year-long annual design competition where we have to design a rocket payload to carry a raw hen egg that is launched and recovered while completing a variety of tasks upon descent. CanSat has three Virginia Tech teams to compete in this year's international competition in Texas.
