3D Smart Model Rocket Project
Using xChips as the flight computer, participants design and print their own model rocket, configure their payload, and launch on a local field.Teachers are supported with a full Canvas course with all the materials required to engage their students in this activity. This curriculum links to: Physics and Newtonian mechanics Mechanical design, additive manufacturing and 3D printing Chemistry and enthalpy/energy calculations Electronics, payload design, and power management Software development, coding, and testing Research design, the scientific method, and data collection/analysis 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 For facilitators wishing to develop their own course materials, the xChips are available as a kit on this page.
