After we designed what we wanted our rocket to look like we had to build it, We got some help from Nick on building our rocket and after we made the tube we looked around for a dowel for our nose cone. we found half of one so we used sand paper to make it rounded and fit in the tube, we had to wrap it in tape so it would be firm in the tube and once it was we were able to find a fish eye hook to way it down and ad something to hook our parachute to. We than had to calculate the surface area so we could find out how big we needed our fins (we needed 70^2 inches of fins). After the fins were cut we decided to spray paint our rocked to make it look better and not so plane.
