Budding rocketeers at Bradbury Science Museum

Chris Armstrong begins assembling his model rocket on Monday at the Bradbury Science Museum downtown. The rocket-building workshop is part of the museum's annual Summer Adventures in Science Program, which brings science to the community. The novice rocket builders will launch their rockets Wednesday from behind the Canyon School Complex.
