3D Smart Model Rocket Project

Using MaxIQ’s xChips as the flight computer, students embark on an immersive journey to design, build, and launch their own 3D printed rockets, bringing STEM concepts to life through hands-on experience. Beginning with 3D printing, students take full ownership of their rocket’s structure, customizing each component to optimize aerodynamics and payload capacity. They configure the xChips payload to record critical flight data, such as altitude and velocity, which is then transmitted to ground stations during flight. This project gives students a rare opportunity to engage in every phase of the engineering process, from designing in CAD software to observing their designs in action during the rocket launch. The kit includes:  3 x MaxIQ Space STEM kits (MK01) Barometer Accelerometer (XYZ) Rechargeable battery unit for the payload Launch platform, remote ignition control, safety glasses, and all other necessary accessories Space model rocket motors 3D print files and instructions Using x
