Irish Rocketry
Supporting rocketry in Ireland for nearly 20 years.
Irish Rocketry is Ireland’s non-profit organisation dedicated to growing and supporting model and high-power amateur rocketry for all.
We promote rocketry as both a STEM education activity and as a safe, inclusive hobby, connecting with enthusiasts, students and educators across the country.
We are a Tripoli Rocketry Association prefecture (Tripoli 129), which provides a pathway to internationally recognised certification in amateur high-power rocketry and high safety standards.
Education & Outreach
We support teachers, schools, and youth groups introducing students to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) through hands-on rocketry. From build & fly projects to classroom demonstrations, we provide guidance, materials, and training.
From launch demonstrations to rocket workshops, we have supported hundreds of activities across primary and secondary level schools, and for youth organisations like Scouting Ireland
