Hi Folks,
I'm a middle school teacher. I used to build and launch rockets about 20-25 years ago - but nothing since then. When school resumes I'll be teaching an after-school program on rocketry. Based on a friends recommendation and some basic research, I plan to start them each building one of Balsa Machining Service's School Rocket, but I'm trying to decide where to go from there.
My budget is pretty limited, so I was thinking that if I could find a few rockets that were a bit more complicated, I could have them work in pairs. Rather than have them all build the same rocket (something I might consider if I could get a cheap enough bulk pack) I was thinking a few different styles might be fun. Any suggestions what rockets i should look at?
Remember these are 11-14 year old kids with no experience (aside from the BMS school rocket).
Thanks!
