The Estes Mini AltiTrak⢠Altitude Tracker makes it easy to transform a simple rocket launch into a rich STEM learning opportunity. By using a gravity protractor to measure the angle between the student and the rocketās apogee, the Mini AltiTrak provides the data needed to calculate altitude through basic geometry. Students can then take their results and create graphs, compare outcomes, and refine rocket designs for maximum performance.
Bring STEM to Life
Instead of just watching a rocket soar, students become active participants in the engineering and scientific process. By measuring, calculating, and analyzing, they gain a deeper understanding of aerodynamics, trajectory, and the forces that affect flight. The Mini AltiTrak fosters curiosity while teaching practical math and science skills.
Classroom-Friendly Design
Each set comes with three Mini AltiTraks, giving small groups or entire classrooms the tools they need to collaborate on flight experiments. The compact and durable design ensures these devices are easy to transport and simple to operate, making them ideal for both classroom and outdoor use.
Inspire Future Engineers
Using the Mini AltiTrak, students can experiment with different rocket designs, engine types, and launch conditions to discover how each variable impacts altitude. This hands-on approach encourages critical thinking and creative problem-solving, preparing students for deeper exploration in science and engineering.
