Launching a rocket from Robin Hood Park in Dunedin last night are (from left) Josh Meikle (15), Zade Fairweather (15), Jess Blyth (16) and rocket scientist Romain Garby.
The dry powder-powered rocket was one of about a dozen launched at the park as part of a Fun With Science programme run by Enriquez Ballestero for school pupils, most of whom were from Kavanagh College.
The rockets ascended an estimated 150m.
