A Beginner's Guide to Aeronautics Course

In this 12-session live online course, students dive into learning about aeronautics, flight physics, airplane design, rocketry and aerodynamics! About the InstructorProf. Mark Baraket (M.S. Astrophysics UC-Berkeley) is a Certified Science & Space Ambassador with the National Space Society, former NASA researcher and experienced aeronautics educator.  Does your child wonder how airplanes fly or dream of becoming a pilot? They can learn the science of flight from an actual pilot and NASA scientist!Airplanes, gliders and helicopters all stay midair due to the principles of the flight science called aeronautics. These include the physics concepts of Newton's Laws of Motion, aerodynamics, the compressibility of air and Bernoulli's principle of lift. In this live online course designed for kids ages 8-13, a variety of class activities bring aeronautics concepts to life. The course includes 12 live interactive presentations with Prof. Mark Baraket, flight physics simulations designed
