In this one-time course, students will draw their own satellite adding basic systems into their spacecraft design.

Class Experience

No prior knowledge is required.  Students are welcome to bring their curiosity about space exploration! 

Students will be learning about necessary systems for satellites and other spacecraft.  I will be showing them a step-by-step drawing to create their spacecraft outline.  After that, we will look at some of the systems in more detail; and student can add these into their designs.  

My teaching style includes both hands-on as well as visual techniques.  I believe that students learn best...

Students will be able to describe various uses and applications for spacecraft and space exploration such as cell phones and weather imaging.

Students will be able to describe the basic systems required for spaceflight and what each system can do.

Students will be able to create a basic satellite while including several spacecraft systems in their designs.
