Print the top and bottom of the rocket on two different piece of paper. (We recommend a heavier paper stock.)
-
We have a full-color version and a black & white version. Choose which one you want to use. (The black & white version is fun to color!)
-
Cut out the top and bottom pieces, and use a hole punch to make holes in the tab for a string to so you can wear your badge.

-
Using Maker Tape, a battery, and a red and blue LED build your circuit on the bottom part of the rocket.
-
See the template for instructions on bending the LED legs so they point the correct way.
-
Add a piece of Maker Tape to act as a switch that can fold over the gap in the circuit to complete it.
-
Use a paperclip as a "switch" to keep your circuit turned on while you wear it.

-
-
Bend the tabbed pieces on the top part of the rocket so they can go under/behind the bottom part of the rocket.
-
The "legs" of the top part of the rocket let it sit above the bottom part of the rocket so our LEDs have some room to glow.
-
Attach the tab legs to the back/bottom of the rocket with tape or glue.
-
-
-
Add some string to the holes on the top tabs.
-
Enjoy your Rocket Badge!
