Take flight with science and imagination in the Smithsonian Rocket Science Kit. Officially licensed from the Smithsonian Institution, this STEM activity set lets children build a rocket featuring a plastic fuselage, foam nose cone, wing assembly, launch pad and base — then power the launch with a chemical reaction using baking soda and vinegar.

Perfect for young engineers and curious minds, the kit offers multiple launches, enabling users to explore how changes in launch angle, surface or amount of “fuel” affect flight height and direction. It’s a thrilling way to learn about physics, motion and engineering design.

Designed for ages 8 and up, this portable and reusable rocket set is great for after-school projects, family weekends outdoors or classroom demonstrations.
