Everything your class needs for indoor rocketry in one box—the Straw Rocket Launcher, a refill pack with materials for thirty students, and free digital curriculum with twenty-eight hours of STEM activities. Students build rockets from straws and mylar tubes, adjust launch angle and force on an air-powered launcher that shoots up to fifty feet, and compete in distance and accuracy challenges—all indoors, no propellants, no outdoor space required. At thirty-six dollars less than buying the launcher and refill pack separately, this is the fastest way to bring aerospace engineering into any classroom.

Aerospace Engineering Starts Here.
An air-powered launcher, materials for thirty students, and twenty-eight hours of free curriculum - with a bundle discount built in.
Air-Powered Launcher with Adjustable Angle and Force
A 458-gram drop rod compresses air inside a clear tube, launching straw rockets up to fifty feet. Students adjust launch angle and drop height to explore how force and trajectory interact—no propellants, batteries, or devices needed.
Clear Launch Tube Shows the Science
The transparent tube lets students see air compression in action. When the drop rod falls, students watch the air column compress and the rocket eject—making Newton’s Third Law visible, not just theoretical.
Materials for Thirty Students Included
The refill pack provides straws, mylar tubes, and everything students need to design and build their own rockets. One package serves a full class without additional purchases on day one.
Twenty-Eight Hours of Free Digital Curriculum
Three curriculum resources—a Teacher’s Guide, Elementary STEM Activity Guide, and Rad Rockets Activities—cover aerodynamics, rocket design, accuracy challenges, and data analysis. Twenty-eight hours of standards-aligned STEM instruction ready to teach.
What Students Will Do
Students design rockets, test launch variables, collect flight data, and iterate on designs through distance and accuracy competitions.
- Build a rocket from straws, mylar tubes, and tape
- Load the rocket onto the launcher tube
- Set the launch angle using the adjustable launcher
- Drop the rod to launch—observe air compression through the clear tube
- Measure flight distance and record data
- Adjust rocket design (fin shape, nose cone, weight) and retest
- Compete in distance and accuracy challenges
- Calculate average distance, plot trajectories, and analyze variables
- Present findings and defend design choices

Why Teachers Love Straw Rockets Getting Started Package
The Whole Class Launches on Day One
Materials for thirty students are in the box. No scavenger hunt for supplies, no waiting on a second order. Unbox, build, launch.
Twenty-Eight Hours of Curriculum
Ready to Teach—Three free digital resources give you lesson plans, activity guides, and advanced challenges. Standards-aligned instruction without hours of lesson prep.
Indoor Safe—No Propellants, No Outdoor Space
Air-powered launch means no fire, no chemicals, no weather delays. Run rocketry lessons in any classroom, gym, or hallway year-round.
Students See the Science Happen
The clear launch tube makes air compression visible. When the drop rod falls and the rocket shoots out, students watch Newton’s Third Law in action—not on a slide.
Competition Drives Iteration
Distance and accuracy challenges turn rocketry into a design competition. Students who never cared about aerodynamics suddenly want to know why their nose cone shape matters.
Save by Buying the Bundle
The Getting Started Package bundles the launcher and refill pack at a savings. One SKU, one purchase order, one delivery.
