An 8 year old who can send a Kerbal to the Moon already knows more about orbital dynamics than the NASA team that launched the Apollo missions.
❗ This class assumes your kid is already able to achieve a steady orbit using maneuver nodes, and understands what this means.
What you'll do
Although KSP is a one player game -for now- this class has a strong emphasis on team effort and discussion.
Each week kids will:
- Tackle a new challenge
- Troubleshoot together
- Discuss real-world applications and the science behind it all
❗ KSP is a hard game. We highly encourage every kid to play on their own during the week!
Concepts Encountered:
- Astrodynamics
- Orbital mechanics
- Rocket engineering and design principles
- Problem solving
- First Principles thinking
What you'll need:
- Have access to a computer, a mouse and keyboard, stable internet connection, and a working webcam and microphone.
- Make sure to have Steam installed.
- Make sure you have Kerbal Space (1 or 2) installed.
