About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Gaucho Rocket Project aims to provide students the tools to design, build, and launch rockets, fostering hands-on learning experiences. Pushing the boundaries of space exploration, we hope to inspire the next generation to further the endeavor into the cosmos.
Our Story
