Blast Off to Learning Fun
In addition to the excitement and entertainment it provides, rocketry also has significant educational value. Model rockets transform kids into amateur rocket scientists, encouraging them to think about how the rockets work. Rocket building teaches kids the basics of propulsion, flight, and aerodynamics, and can help foster an early interest in science and engineering. No paint or special tools need for the Dragonite, it literally “snaps” together. Pre-colored body tubes, plastic fin set and die cut decals will have you to the field in minutes with this E2X kit.
