Test payload theories while creating an ‘egg-static’ rocket launching experience. A crowd-pleasing STEM activity kit for launch parties and science projects
A perfect science activity for both kids and adults, the Green Egg payload rocket includes a plastic payload section to carry its fragile cargo, a raw egg. The lightly tinted green payload section is transparent so rocketeers can see how their eggstronaunt is handing the flight.
