Based on the international rules of water rocket competitions, the activities have spread out into both lower and upper secondary schools, including public and private sectors in Phnom Penh city as well as some provinces on the space education program.

Recently, we have conducted two competitions in two different province; one was in Takeo Province which is about 50 kilometers south of Phnom Penh, and the other was in Kampot Province which is approximately 150 kilometers southwest of Phnom Penh. Thousands of students and some teachers participated in the events. These activities were supported by public schools and the Peace Corps organization and facilitated by SEA-WG in Cambodia. In addition, PSIS also conducted a water rocket competition on July 4th, 2014 at Chea Sim Boeng Keng Kang High School where 205 students and some teachers participated. This shows the interest of the students in joining together with international collaboration supported by APRSAF and local organizations.
