Mini Bertha™ Starter Set

The Mini Bertha™ Starter Set is an ideal entry point for introducing students to the fundamentals of rocketry. By bundling the rocket, launch system, engines, and recovery supplies into one kit, this set removes uncertainty and allows educators to focus on instruction rather than logistics.

It is well suited for classrooms, camps, after school programs, and youth organizations looking to offer a safe and engaging STEM experience.

Everything Needed for a Successful Launch

This starter set includes the Mini Bertha rocket, a Mini Launch Pad and Controller, plus four A10-3T engines with plugs, starters, and recovery wadding. No additional launch equipment is required, making lesson planning and preparation simple.

With all essential components included, educators can confidently guide students through the full rocketry process from assembly to countdown and recovery.

Beginner Friendly Build with Reliable Flights

The Mini Bertha is designed to be approachable for first time builders. Its compact size, molded plastic fins, and straightforward assembly help students experience success while developing fine motor skills and following step by step instructions.

Flying on 13 mm engines, the Mini Bertha delivers stable, predictable flights and reaches projected altitudes of up to 650 feet, providing exciting visual feedback without overwhelming new flyers.

Supports STEM Learning and Engagement

Launching the Mini Bertha helps students explore key STEM concepts including thrust, drag, stability, and recovery systems. Each launch reinforces cause and effect while encouraging observation, discussion, and experimentation.

The ability to fly the rocket multiple times allows students to refine techniques, compare results, and build confidence through repeated hands on learning.

Built for Repeat Use and Group Settings

With a durable design and simple streamer recovery system, the Mini Bertha is well suited for repeated launches in group environments. Its ease of use helps educators manage time efficiently while keeping students engaged and focused.

The Mini Bertha™ Starter Set offers a dependable foundation for introducing rocketry as a gateway to deeper exploration of aerospace and engineering concepts.
