Intermediate

The Mavericks™ Twin Pack brings hands on rocketry into the classroom with two intermediate level rockets designed to reinforce STEM concepts through real world application. Students build, launch, and analyze two unique rockets, creating more opportunities for collaboration, experimentation, and discovery.

With reliable performance, laser cut balsa fins, and fast streamer recovery, The Mavericks is an ideal choice for educators looking to expand beyond beginner kits and introduce more advanced construction and flight concepts in an engaging, repeatable way.

  • SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate
  • RECOMMENDED ENGINES: 1/2A3-4T, A3-4T, A3-6T, A10-3T
  • PROJECTED ALTITUDE:
    • Rebel: 600 ft. (183 m)
    • Unruly: 500 ft. (152 m)

In The Classroom

The Mavericks™ includes two complete model rockets, Rebel and Unruly, giving students more opportunities to engage in hands on STEM learning. Whether working in pairs or small groups, students can build, test, and compare two rockets within the same lesson or across multiple sessions.

This dual rocket format encourages collaboration, critical thinking, and experimentation while maximizing classroom participation and launch day efficiency.

Designed for Intermediate STEM Progression

Ideal for students who have completed introductory rocketry projects, The Mavericks introduces more refined building techniques while remaining approachable for structured classroom use. Students develop skills in precision assembly, following technical instructions, and understanding how construction impacts flight performance.

This makes it a natural next step for STEM programs looking to deepen engagement and expand student confidence in engineering based projects.

Real World Physics in Every Flight

Powered by 13 mm engines such as 1/2A3-4T, A3-4T, A3-6T, and A10-3T, The Mavericks demonstrates key physics concepts including thrust, drag, stability, and trajectory. With projected altitudes of up to 600 feet for Rebel and 500 feet for Unruly, students can observe and analyze flight differences in real time.

These repeatable flights create valuable opportunities for data collection, prediction, and post launch discussion, helping students connect theory to real world results.

Efficient Recovery for More Classroom Launches

Streamer recovery ensures quick and consistent retrieval, reducing downtime between launches and allowing more students to participate. With less drift and faster turnaround, educators can conduct multiple launches within a single class period or field session.

This efficiency supports structured lesson plans while keeping students actively engaged throughout the experience.

A Flexible Tool for STEM Curriculum

Compatible with the Porta-Pad® II launch pad and standard 1/8 inch launch rods, The Mavericks integrates easily into existing classroom setups. Its durable design and repeat flight capability make it a reliable resource for ongoing STEM instruction.

From engineering fundamentals to physics exploration, The Mavericks™ provides a scalable, hands on learning experience that grows with your students and keeps them excited about science, technology, engineering, and math.
