In this course\, students learn the fundamentals of rocket science and explore the concepts with model rocket applications. The pract ical exercises use model rockets as tools to allow students to experiment with rocket science and data logging using arduino microcontrollers. They learn to build rockets and arduino-based data loggers. Additionally\, stu dents practice model rocketry testing in a safe and monitored environment. The course is suitable for 7-12 students and adults. Participants build a nd instrument a data-logging rocket from scratch\, launch it multiple time s to collect data\, and analyze the results..\n\nStudents develop the tech nical skills of understanding rocket physics and arduino microcontrollers. They develop group work skills as all the hands-on activities are perform ed in small project teams. They learn manufacturing skills by building roc kets and programming skills while programming an arduino. They learn inter personal skills as they work with other groups to share resources to test model rockets. They learn how products are designed and how they can apply engineering skills in a career.\n\nThe class will be split into 3 project groups. Each project group will have 2 adult team captain volunteers\, a rocket team (4 students)\, and a datalogger team (4 students). We will try to give students their preference to work on the rocket team or the datal ogger team. The teams will work in parallel to complete the group project. \n\nThe curriculum is designed as a 5-session course. The events are broke n into several focused segments\, culminating in a session of rocket testi ng with multiple launches by each team. Much of the event is held outdoors \, and the outdoor segments may be weather-permitting. Session themes are: \n\n1) Program introduction\, technical fundamentals\, architecture design and project team setup\n\n2) Design and Prep session (Rocket and Datalogg er)\n\n3) Build and Test session (Rocket and Datalogger)\n\n4) Launch sess ion (Rocket and Datalogger)\n\n5) Data analysis\, results\, final wrapup\n \n960 Cogswell Street\, Rockledge\, Florida\, United States\, 32955 LOCATION:960 Cogswell Street\, Rockledge\, Florida\, United States\, 32955 ORGANIZER:socci@ieee.org SEQUENCE:20 SUMMARY:IEEE Rocket Recorder URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/444775 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><h1>Overview</h1>\n<p class="MsoNormal">Rocke t Recorder is a STEM program where students design\, build\, test\, progra m\, launch\, and analyze a model rocket with an embedded data logger to ev aluate rocket performance.</p>\n<p class="MsoNormal">This STEM program is a multi-session hands-on educational course suitable for STEM camps\, afte r school programs\, science parks\, scout groups\, and other learning envi ronments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes\;">&nbsp\; </span>In this course\, students learn the fundamentals of rocket science and explore the concept s with model rocket applications.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes\;">&nbsp\; </span>The practical exercises use model rockets as tools to allow studen ts to experiment with rocket science and data logging using arduino microc ontrollers.
