تَنَافَسَتْ ثَمَانِيَةُ فِرَقٍ مِنَ الْأَطْفَالِ وَالْمُرَاهِقِينَ فِي تَحَدِّي الصَّوَارِيخِ الْمَائِيَّةِ بِمَدِينَةِ قَسَنْطِينَةَ الْجَزَائِرِيَّةِ يَوْمَ 10 أُكْتُوبَرَ 2026. وَأُقِيمَ التَّحَدِّي ضِمْنَ فَعَالِيَّةٍ عِلْمِيَّةٍ مُصَاحِبَةٍ لِأُسْبُوعِ الْفَضَاءِ الْعَالَمِيِّ.
صَمَّمَتِ الْفِرَقُ صَوَارِيخَهَا وَبَنَتْهَا، ثُمَّ اخْتَبَرَتْهَا وَحَسَّنَتْهَا قَبْلَ إِطْلَاقِهَا. وَتَعَلَّمَ الْمُشَارِكُونَ مِنْ خِلَالِ هٰذَا الْعَمَلِ بَعْضَ أَفْكَارِ الْفِيزِيَاءِ وَالْهَنْدَسَةِ، مِثْلَ الضَّغْطِ وَحَرَكَةِ الْهَوَاءِ. كَمَا تَدَرَّبُوا عَلَى الْعَمَلِ مَعًا وَتَجْرِبَةِ أَفْكَارِهِمْ.
أُقِيمَ النَّشَاطُ فِي وَحْدَةِ الْبَحْثِ فِي الْوَسَاطَةِ الْعِلْمِيَّةِ بِجَامِعَةِ قَسَنْطِينَةَ الثَّالِثَةِ. وَكَانَ التَّحَدِّي جُزْءًا مِنْ يَوْمٍ عِلْمِيٍّ مَفْتُوحٍ ضَمَّ أَيْضًا مَعَارِضَ وَتَجَارِبَ وَمُحَاضَرَاتٍ. وَاسْتَهْدَفَ النَّشَاطُ تَقْرِيبَ الْعُلُومِ وَالْفَضَاءِ مِنَ الشَّبَابِ بِطَرِيقَةٍ عَمَلِيَّةٍ.
وَأُسْبُوعُ الْفَضَاءِ الْعَالَمِيُّ مُنَاسَبَةٌ سَنَوِيَّةٌ تَمْتَدُّ مِنَ الرَّابِعِ إِلَى الْعَاشِرِ مِنْ أُكْتُوبَرَ. وَفِي قَسَنْطِينَةَ، رَبَطَ تَحَدِّي الصَّوَارِيخِ بَيْنَ التَّعَلُّمِ وَالتَّجْرِبَةِ؛ فَقَدْ صَمَّمَ الْمُشَارِكُونَ صَوَارِيخَهُمْ وَاخْتَبَرُوهَا بَدَلًا مِنَ الِاكْتِفَاءِ بِسَمَاعِ شَرْحٍ عَنِ الْفِيزِيَاءِ وَالْهَنْدَسَةِ.

Eight Teams Compete in Algeria’s Water-Rocket Challenge
Eight teams of children and teenagers competed in the water-rocket challenge in the Algerian city of Constantine on October 10, 2026. The challenge was part of a science event held during World Space Week.
The teams designed and built their rockets, then tested and improved them before launching. Through this work, participants learned some ideas from physics and engineering, such as pressure and the movement of air. They also practiced working together and testing their ideas.
The activity took place at the Scientific Mediation Research Unit at Constantine 3 University. The challenge was part of an open science day that also included exhibits, experiments, and lectures. The activity aimed to bring science and space closer to young people through hands-on learning.
World Space Week is an annual event that runs from October 4 to 10. In Constantine, the rocket challenge connected learning with practice: participants designed and tested their rockets instead of only hearing an explanation of physics and engineering.
