{"product_id":"the-mavericks","title":"The Mavericks™","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis dual rocket format encourages collaboration, critical thinking, and experimentation while maximizing classroom participation and launch day efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned for Intermediate STEM Progression\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes it a natural next step for STEM programs looking to deepen engagement and expand student confidence in engineering based projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReal World Physics in Every Flight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowered 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese repeatable flights create valuable opportunities for data collection, prediction, and post launch discussion, helping students connect theory to real world results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEfficient Recovery for More Classroom Launches\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStreamer 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis efficiency supports structured lesson plans while keeping students actively engaged throughout the experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA Flexible Tool for STEM Curriculum\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Estes Rockets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52095666094373,"sku":"001366","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0755\/3594\/1925\/files\/1366-Estes-The-Mavericks-Model-Rocket-Kit.png?v=1773952194","url":"https:\/\/edu.estesrockets.com\/products\/the-mavericks","provider":"Estes Education","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
