12 Pack beginner skill level Generic E2X model rocket kits: each kit is individually wrapped with materials and step-by-step instructions required to assemble the rocket - perfect for schools, clubs, and rocket demonstrations. This rocket is an easy way to promote creativity among your students. This all white rocket can be individually customized with the foil self-stick decals, decorated with markers or paint, or just leave it white.
- Skill level: The Generic E2X is a Beginner skill level rocket with an easy-to-assemble plastic fin unit and one-piece nose cone, which makes it a breeze to build — even for students who have never built a model rocket before. Turn the building and launching of the Generic E2X into a design challenge — have students come up with specific design constraints or objectives, such as building the fastest rocket, the highest-flying rocket, or the most visually stunning rocket. This can help promote creative thinking and problem-solving skills.
- High-flying: When paired with Estes standard model rocket engines (sold separately), the Generic E2X can reach heights of up to 1100 ft. (335 m) on a C6-7, providing an exciting and exhilarating experience for kids. Once it reaches its peak altitude, the rocket will gracefully descend to the ground using its colorful 12-inch parachute.
- Building and launching the Generic E2X rocket can be a great group activity that encourages collaboration and creativity. Students can work in pairs or small groups to come up with unique designs for their rocket. Then, they can help each other assemble and decorate the rockets. You can also incorporate the building and launching of the Generic E2X into an interdisciplinary project. For example, students could write a research paper on the history of rocketry, design and build their own rockets. Afterwards, they can present their findings and launch their rockets at a science fair or similar event. This can help promote a deeper understanding of the subject matter and encourage students to think creatively across different fields.
- Recommended Engines (not included): 1/2A6-2, A8-3, A8-5, B4-4, B6-4, B6-6, C6-5, C6-7
