HASSE Sub-Orbital Rocketry Certificate
Course description
Rocketworkz® online course, Go Beyond, is a highly engaging and entertaining class that moves quickly through the basic principals of sub-orbital flight, designs, the physical/virtual building of a rocket, the actual launch of the missile, and the resulting data analysis. Throughout these six weeks, fascinating rocket history, rocketeer vocabulary, and high-power rocketry flying will be presented and demonstrated. There will be sub-orbital rocket tips and tricks that are not available via a basic store-bought kit or in any general classrooms.
The ability to join the instructor via live lectures as he travels on-site to the space industry and rocket landmarks, including actual launches and interviews, is an added bonus for students who would not otherwise be able to see the “insider’s view” at various locations throughout the USA.
Structure
Collaboration:
There are two parts to this online course: a one-hour live lecture taught by the rocket expert via online webinar and after class group discussions/forum.
Resources
Join forces on & offline:
There will be weekly live and recorded lectures, discussion forum, additional instructor recommended videos by rocketry leaders and events, and suggested supplemental reading.
Learning environment
Effective e-learning :
Students will be engaged in small group environment to learn, design, and discuss. With the help of the instructor, one design will be printed out, assembled, and launched in the restricted area. Advanced courses may be available after completion of this course.
Follow-up Course
field trip:
After completing the online course, students have the option to visit Houston, home of Johnson Space Center, private sectors with the most advanced space technology in the field of civil rocketry, or continue the online series of Rocketworkz.
