In celebration of the final day of World Space Week, participating students nationwide will create bottle rockets with ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda and attempt to launch the most baking soda bottle rockets ever at one time. Renowned scientist and engineer Emily Calandrelli is joining forces with the baking soda brand for the inaugural Rocket Day: Launch Across America on October 10.

The goal of this day is to shatter records and ignite curiosity and enthusiasm for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) among students nationwide in partnership with the U.S. Space & Rocket Center (home of Space Camp), Emily Calandrelli ("Emily the Space Gal"), Dee the Science Kid, and more than 250 underprivileged schools nationwide.

Emily joins us to share what she’s up to, including an upcoming trip to space, and to provide video instructions for classrooms to follow and take-home worksheets for students to reflect on their learning experiences with their families.

After the bottle rockets are launched, each participating student can enter for a chance to win a trip to Space Camp at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. For more info, check out bakingsodarocket.com.
