Emirates Aviation University hosts water rocket competition with Boeing

Students from grades 11 and 12 participated in a competition organized by Emirates Aviation University and Boeing, where they built rockets using available materials. The rockets were launched at a 45-degree angle, powered only by water and air pressure.

Professor Ahmad Al Ali, Vice Chancellor of Emirates Aviation University, stated: "The Water Rocket Competition is part of our corporate social responsibility initiatives. Not only does the competition ignite curiosity in young minds but it also equips future industry leaders with the skills and passion needed to drive the world forward. We hope they are inspired to pursue a career in science, technology, engineering or maths. We’re delighted with this opportunity to give back to the local community and proud to partner with Boeing."

Kuljit Ghata-Aura, President of Boeing Middle East, Türkiye, Africa, and Central Asia, commented: "With the UAE experiencing growth in aviation and space exploration, there continues to be a rising demand for aerospace talent. Partnering with Emirates Aviation University allows us to inspire the next generation of aerospace professionals and provide students with the opportunity to gain technical skills from Boeing engineers during this competition."
