Teacher Tom was featured as a top educator on Outschool's EPIC Spotlight for Passion-Driven Learning in 2021! PREREQUISITE FOR THIS CLASS: Your learner must have Kerbal Space Program (Either 1 or 2 - Discount link available for KSP 1 below), know how to play Kerbal Space Program, be able to achieve a steady orbit using maneuver nodes, & understand what this means. If your learner does not have the prerequisite for this class please contact the teacher before enrolling and you will be provided with helpful tutorial links. Note: This class does not "teach" Kerbal Space Program, but instead teaches Rocket Science principles using Kerbal Space Program. Come Explore the Wonders of Space, and the Joy of Rocket Science as you discuss Kerbal Space Program together with your friends! New learners are welcome anytime! This class runs year-round. Learners should be able to read independently. ***REQUIRED MATERIAL WILL TAKE TIME TO INSTALL/BECOME ORIENTED WITH. PLEASE SEE LEARNER SUPPLY LIST*** In this weekly class, we will challenge each other to exercise our creativity, research, and construction skills, while we learn together about the science behind how Rockets, Orbital Mechanics/Astrodynamics all work together. (Both inside the game, and in real life!) Structure: 1- Learners can share what they have been working on in KSP throughout the week. 2 - As a class, we will decide on a challenge to work on during the upcoming week between classes, and begin discussing possible ways to achieve it. 3 - We will then discuss challenges that may be faced in the game while working on this challenge. 4 - We will also discuss possible real-world applications for this challenge, some of the challenges that might be faced, and the science behind it all. Each week's challenge will be chosen by the learners together in class. Challenges can be anything from landing on certain planets, building space stations, or creating a specific kind of rocket in your own way. Learners will have varying experiences with KSP so they can add to or adjust their own personal mission to suit their abilities. We often collaborate on a project together with learners completing their assignments outside of class and uploading the files to the classroom for the teacher to combine into one big project. This class is a "meeting of the minds" discussion group, where, just like real rocket scientists and their supporting teams, we meet often to plan out our next project/challenge and proactively plan, re-plan, troubleshoot, brainstorm, support, and collaborate. If there is time left over at the end of our brainstorming sessions, learners are welcome to start on their challenges. About Kerbal Space Program (KSP): KSP is a rocket simulation program used by rocket scientists and gamers alike. Not only is it loads of fun, but it teaches many things about rocketry & space that are hard to learn outside of a real-time simulation like this. It started as just a video game, but parts of it were built by NASA & the ESA, and many very successful rocket & space professionals still play it, while designing and flying real rockets. "In KSP, you must build space-worthy craft, capable of flying your crew out into space, without killing them. At your disposal is a collection of parts, which must be assembled to create a functional ship. Each part has its own function and will affect the way a ship flies (or doesn't). So strap yourself in, and get ready to try some Rocket Science! The game has different game modes, you can play the Career Mode if you want to expand and manage your own Space Center, taking on missions and researching new technologies. Or you can play Sandbox mode if you're only interested in flying and discovering the Kerbal universe without restrictions. There is even a midpoint between these two, Science mode." Here are some examples of people who regularly play KSP: -Elon Musk [Founder & Chief Engineer of SpaceX, Tesla, & more] -Claims it is his favorite game, by far. -Tory Bruno [CEO of United Launch Alliance] -Regularly mentions it on Twitter, and calls KSP "The best computer game available". -Peter Beck [CEO & Chief Engineer of Rocket Lab] -Scott Kelly [NASA Astronaut who spent 520 days in space] -Uses KSP to teach people about Orbital Mechanics. (See below under "learner supply list" for where to purchase KSP with a non-affiliated discounted link provided) Here are some links to my other Space & Rocket classes: Current Events in Space Technology & Rocket Launches -https://outschool.com/classes/current-events-in-space-technology-and-rocket-launches-as-they-happen-14-18yo-9eAnlF47?usid=8VOYFMNV&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link I also offer these classes to 8-10 & 10-14 age groups as well as classes in 1:1 STEM tutoring, Ham Radio, Finish Carpentry, Tools, Antarctic Exploration, Book Clubs, Lego Challenges, & more!

Metas de aprendizaje
Students will not only stretch their creativity, research, and construction skills, but we will together be learning the science behind how Rockets, Orbital Mechanics, and Astrodynamics all work together. (Both inside the game, and in real life!)

It will be required to own a copy of Kerbal Space Program, and have a computer capable of running it.
(If you have a newer gaming console, it is an option to get the game for the console instead, but this can be much more challenging to use vs. a keyboard and mouse, so I don't recommend it)

Tom's students have become analog astronauts, sent experiments to space, won NASA contests, and have named professional rocket launches. Being involved in the space industry starts now, not when you are an adult!
Some of Tom's greatest passions are Rocket Science and Space and he would love to share these with your learners. Tom's popular Current Events in Space Technology and Rocket launches class keeps learners up to date on the Space Race and has been successfully and enthusiastically running on Outschool for over 2 years! Tom offers several great classes for your future Rocket Scientist & most ongoing classes run all year round!
Tom has learned a great deal from being raised in a family of scientists, with his "ahead of her time" grandmother being a nuclear chemist who worked on several highly classified projects. Tom is also carrying on the legacy of his brilliant grandfather who trained servicemen to use radio and radar at various Navy training facilities when not overseas during WW2, as well as being a chief engineer for commercial radio stations, & having a 108 ft Ham Radio tower in his back yard. Tom has been a licensed Ham Radio operator for over a decade. Tom is an electronics whiz who has built his own functioning Ham Radio equipment and towers. Tom is excited to share his passion for Ham Radio with you through his knowledge and skills and prepare you to pass the ham radio test and obtain your very own ham radio license. (No age requirement for obtaining a ham radio license)
Tom has extensive experience teaching, leading, and mentoring youth and is anxious to inspire the young people who attend his classes. He is a "human Google" so bring all of your questions to class with you and don't be afraid to ask them!
You will find Tom to be an engaging and intelligent teacher, armed with an abundance of dad jokes and witty comments.
