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.
