I’m a STEM teacher. We build the Alpha III in our 5th Grade classes. The rocket is easy, bright, doesn’t require paint, and we’re quicker to launching! Kids love them!
The Alpha rocket has been around since I was a kid in the late 1960's. The design is simple and easy to build. It was fun to build this with my grandsons and look forward to flying it soon.
