The Robert Goddard Rocket gives educators a powerful way to introduce the birth of modern rocketry. Modeled after Goddard’s 1926 experimental rocket, this kit represents the breakthrough that proved rockets could be powered by liquid fueled propulsion and opened the door to space exploration.
By building and flying this model, students connect directly with a milestone that reshaped science, engineering, and aerospace innovation.
Hands On Engineering and STEM Learning
This kit supports experiential learning by guiding students through construction, stability, propulsion, and recovery systems. Molded plastic fins provide durability and consistent alignment, helping ensure reliable builds while reinforcing careful assembly and attention to detail.
Students develop critical thinking and collaboration skills as they follow instructions, make observations, and discuss how design choices affect flight performance.
Safe and Repeatable Educational Launches
Designed to fly on A series engines, the Robert Goddard Rocket delivers smooth, stable flights reaching up to 250 feet. The 12 inch parachute recovery system provides gentle descents and quick turnaround between launches.
This dependable performance makes it well suited for classroom demonstrations, small group activities, camps, and repeated use throughout a lesson or program.
Ideal for STEM and Cross Curriculum Instruction
The Robert Goddard Rocket fits naturally into STEM instruction while also supporting lessons in history, physics, and engineering design. It provides a meaningful entry point for discussions about experimentation, innovation, problem solving, and perseverance.
Whether used in classrooms, after school programs, or youth organizations, this rocket transforms a pivotal moment in scientific history into an engaging, hands on learning experience.
