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 launches are part of the published course structure. Confirm the current launch and supervision plan before enrollment.

Ready for the next challenge?
Progress toward the American Rocketry Challenge.
Students who want a deeper team challenge can continue into ARC coaching, where simulation, fabrication, flight testing, and data-driven iteration come together.
