Your Child Can Learn the Science of Flight from an Actual NASA Scientist
The kind of hands-on, expert-led aeronautics education that creates lasting engagement and genuine scientific confidence
"Absolutely fantastic class! My 10 and 13 year old Kerbal Space Program-playing nerd kids complain that other aeronautics classes for their ages are too basic. This class, however, went all the way from Newton's 3 Laws to hypersonic aerodynamics -- they were riveted. We will be signing up for more soon!" - Cathy S.
Explore flight physics, airplane design, rocketry and aerodynamics with Prof. Mark Baraket (M.S. Astrophysics, UC Berkeley, former NASA)
Small-group live online classes keep kids engaged with NASA-designed curriculum, interactive learning and computer simulations
Designed for ages 8-13 (grades 3-7). Younger children can participate with parent support.
Course runs for 12 weeks from start date, meeting once a week for 50-min Zoom classes with Prof. Baraket (max. 12 students)
"Mark was fantastic with our son - his teaching style and personality were spot on for the age group. The engaging lessons and thoughtful handouts kept our son engaged every week. We're so thankful for the way Mark nurtured our son's love of aeronautics!" - Thandeka N.
