BrainStorm GIANT Rocketry STEM Kit
The BrainStorm GIANT Rocketry STEM Kit delivers an unforgettable, hands-on engineering experience that brings physics, forces, and motion to life on a large, exciting scale. Designed to captivate students from elementary through middle school, this kit challenges learners to build, launch, test, and refine oversized air-powered rockets while developing real scientific and engineering skills.
Students explore core physics concepts such as air pressure, force, motion, stability, and energy transfer as they construct durable, reusable rockets and launch systems. Through guided experimentation, they test how design choices—rocket mass, fin placement, launch angle, and air pressure—affect flight distance, height, and accuracy. Every launch becomes an opportunity to observe cause and effect, collect data, and improve designs using evidence.
Built specifically for classroom, after-school, and Expanded Learning environments, the GIANT Rocketry Kit emphasizes safe, controlled launches using air power rather than combustion. The system is easy to reset, highly repeatable, and ideal for group investigations, demonstrations, and team-based challenges. No special facilities or outdoor launch pads are required—just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
The kit supports NGSS-aligned instruction and naturally integrates the engineering design process, encouraging students to ask questions, test ideas, analyze results, and iterate toward better solutions. Whether used as a standalone STEM activity or part of a larger physics or engineering unit, GIANT Rocketry consistently drives high engagement and excitement.
