12 Student Rockets. One Smart Classroom Value.
The Firecrest™ Bulk Pack gives teachers, educators, camp leaders, and youth organization leaders 12 beginner-friendly Estes model rockets in one affordable classroom-ready pack. It is a smart way to equip group rocketry activities when you need enough rockets for multiple students while keeping program costs manageable.
Each student or small group can build, prep, and launch their own rocket, giving them a hands-on STEM experience from start to finish. Instead of watching one demonstration rocket take flight, students get to participate directly in the process, building confidence as they move from assembly to countdown to recovery.
Beginner-Friendly for First-Time Builders
The Firecrest is designed to keep the building experience approachable for new rocketeers. Its beginner-level construction gives students the satisfaction of assembling a real model rocket while keeping the project manageable for classrooms, camps, clubs, and other group settings.
Molded plastic fins help simplify assembly and add durability, which is especially valuable when multiple students are handling rockets during a busy lesson or launch day. At 9.5 inches long and just 0.52 ounces, the Firecrest is lightweight, easy to handle, and well suited for introducing students to the fundamentals of model rocket construction.
Perfect First Flights With Easier Recovery
Powered by Estes 1/4A3-3T engines, the Firecrest reaches estimated flights of up to 125 feet. That altitude gives students a thrilling launch experience while helping keep the rocket easier to see, track, and recover after flight.
For educational settings, that matters. A more manageable flight helps reduce downtime between launches and allows students to observe key parts of the flight sequence, including liftoff, ascent, ejection, recovery deployment, and descent. The streamer recovery system also keeps recovery simple, helping your group stay focused and engaged throughout the activity.
Hands-On STEM That Students Remember
Model rocketry brings science, engineering, and problem-solving to life in a way students can see and feel. With the Firecrest Bulk Pack, students can explore basic rocket design, stability, propulsion, altitude, recovery systems, and launch safety through an activity that feels exciting from the first build step to the final countdown.
It is a strong fit for STEM lessons, after-school programs, summer camps, scout groups, homeschool co-ops, and youth organizations looking for an affordable, high-energy activity that encourages teamwork, curiosity, and real-world learning.
For launch day, pair the Firecrest with Estes 1/4A3-3T engines and a compatible launch system, such as the Porta-Pad II with a 1/8 inch launch rod. Engines, launch system, starters, and other launch supplies are sold separately unless otherwise specified.
