3D Printing Mini Rockets
Students design their own mini rocket in CAD, 3D-print every component, assemble it, and launch it — twice. This is real rocket engineering, scaled for young learners.
What students learn
Design it. Print it. Launch it.
Rocket design & CAD
Students design their rocket from scratch — nose cone, body tube, fins — using CAD software. Every decision affects how the rocket flies.
3D printing & fabrication
Print each component, learn about material properties, tolerances, and how to assemble parts that need to survive a launch.
Real rocket launches
Two supervised launches during the course. Students prepare their rockets with motors, recover them, and analyze what happened.
