So much fun and a great educational piece!
"This little kit is so much fun, great to work in groups or individually with, great for parent/child working too! The instructions are very easy to follow, simple to understand and are very thorough! This would make a great gift for any science lover as well as those involved in education! The experiments are so much fun to do and allow for so much joy and creativity! This would make a wonderful gift and is an unbeatable value!"

You will need to download an app to use this product
"My son is not interested at all in this product- he is 13 and on the Spectrum. I don't know if it is just too much of a process for him to get into it enough to enjoy it, but we can't get him to really use it and learn all the neat things it offers. You may just need a child that is more curious about Rockets and such- The fact you couldn't just use it was hard for my son to understand."

Awesome rocket kit for kids!
"I ordered this for my daughter as a 10th birthday present and she LOVED it. She loved the creative part of it, as well as that the experiences combined with her phone (since it's so hard to pry her phone away). The goggles worked perfectly with her iPhone 11. My daughter had no idea who Bill Nye was, but I love the blast from the past. All in all, this was the best "boxed" science-experiment we've tried!"

Neat kit but very app reliant
"Like many of these STEM kits on the market, this one is based heavily in its accompanying app, which, while it does add to the experience, also means you can't just unbox it and have some fun with the kids any old time or place. I mean I don't see why you couldn't use it without the app, but I personally feel like more of the content is based in the technology and not in the hands-on experience of exploring rockets and how they work. Still fun though."

SO fun
"I got this for my nine year old niece who is a self proclaimed science nerd. She had so much fun with this set. The instructions are great. This would be a great gift for any child who loves science."

Bill Nye's Rocket Lab
"Wow! This Rocket Lab Science kit is absolutely amazing. You get VR Goggles and you get to explore the Solar System, it's planets & space! It has all the tools & materials needed to build your own rocket! This is such a wonderful, educational toy for kids. It's hands on, and it allows kids to explore their curiosity about what's beyond Earth. I ordered this for my son & I to work on together. We've enjoyed taking a journey through space in VR, and we've also enjoyed building his very own customized rocket to launch. It's not quite finished yet, but will post pics once we are done, as well as the video of us launching his rocket!"

Cool kit and Bill Nye!! Did I mention Bill Nye?!
"Obviously I'm a big fan of Bill Nye. I learned so much from this guy and I'm happy to pass on that love to a little in my life.We've had a blast (no pun intended) so far getting through the build step and look forward to shooting it off this weekend if the weather cooperates."

Bill Nye fan here!
"As a kid that grew up watching Bill Nye the Science Guy, I was supper excited to find this! Our son LOVES science and rockets, and well, VR now ha. We haven't made the rocket yet but look forward to doing it when the weather gets a little better. We have enjoyed using the VR headset and studying about rockets. We love that this kit comes with everything needed to build the rocket and study it! As a homeschool family, its win win for everyone. Our son is having a lesson and having fun!"
