I received a grant to build rocket launchers 2 years ago. We make the rockets from construction paper. The teams decide the design but build it to fit on the end of the pipe. The launcher is made from a large sprinkler pipe with an open/close valve. Air is pumped in with a bike pump and then the rocket is launched by releasing the air.
We use the rocket launchers at the beginning of the year to build excitement and teamwork. We will use them later on for measuring distance and angles. Sometimes we pull the launchers out for fun activities or rewards as well.
