3-2-1 Blast Off!

Help me give my students a classroom set of Estes Green Egg Rocket kits to launch our PocketLab sensors to new heights.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rutherford's classroom raised $756

This project is fully funded

My Project

Help us launch our PocketLab sensors to new heights with this classroom set of student-made Estes Green Egg Rockets. This specially priced educator package has everything we need: 12 rocket kits, two bulk packs of rocket engines, and two launch pads with controllers. It even comes with two additional PocketLab Voyager sensors to add to our existing classroom lab kit.

The Estes rocket built-in egg-sized compartment is a perfect fit for our PocketLab Voyager sensors.

Designed to simulate the stresses real astronauts face, students will receive real-time data from their Bluetooth-enabled digital sensors. Using their hand-held AltiTrak altimeters, students can compare their launch height calculations to discover just how high their rockets fly.
