Kerbal Space Program is somewhat like a NASA simulator except it's set in a fictional star system on the planet Kerbin. Players purchase various rocket parts, put them together, and then see if they can get their ship into orbit, to one of Kerbin’s two moons, or even to another planet. The star system closely resembles our own, but the planet is populated with cute green characters reminiscent of the minions in the movie Despicable Me. Given Kerbal Space Program's accurate modeling of rocket construction and the and trial-and-error processes that ground rocket science, it could easily integrate into math, physics, or engineering classrooms. For instance, teachers could supplement a lesson with homework in Kerbal Space Program, asking students to achieve orbit and record the stats of their rockets for comparison. In Kerbal Space Program, students set goals, build rockets, evaluate mission results, change designs, and try again. It offers a solid simulation and students who take the time to observe flight readouts and toy with the ship’s trajectory will learn fundamentals of rocket science and realistic, modern-day space flight.

Ages 13-18 NEWS FLASH: NASA needs your ideas to design super laser deflectors to save the earth! There are over 10,000 known near earth asteroids. Lasers create the fastest energy to change an asteroid's path so it misses the earth. This perfectly safe hands on class explores NASA's idea to use laser ablation to redirect an asteroid to avoid a collision with earth. LEARN THIS NEW WORD: ABLATION ========================= When the laser beam hits the asteroid, it heats up the surface of the asteroid really quickly. This extreme heat causes the surface of the asteroid to vaporize or turn into gas. This is called ablation. The vaporized material shoots off into space like a small jet engine pushing the asteroid away from earth. Join this team and be a member to create this amazing system! BENEFITS: ====================== - Colleges will bow to you when they read your application - Small class size = enhanced experience - You will learn future technology that schools don't even know about! - You may love this class so much that you want to learn more & work for NASA!

This course is taught by 2 leading experts in the field of GIS for both raster and vector analysis. This course focuses on landslides. This class limited to 8th - 12th grade only GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is a class of software used to map, manage, analyze and present complex information that is location-based, or spatial in nature. It is a crucial tool for anyone considering studying or working in environmental sciences and ecology; geography, geology and other earth sciences; regional planning and demographics; military strategy and tactics; logistics; and more. This hands-on, 14-week course will introduce students to the principles of spatial thinking, the practice of managing and analyzing data in two- and three-dimensions, and ultimately the presentation of data and analysis to others. Taking advantage of the increased interest in landslides in our Palos Verdes community, the course will focus on the geology, geography and topography of Palos Verdes. There will be 1 or more field trip to a land slide location to asses the area and also to perform remote sensing (collecting high resolution data with a specialized drone). DISCOUNT: ============ Girls discount: $30 (If payment is in cash) (cash payments must be made in person at PVNet) A WASC accredited 5 unit high school elective certificate is included upon successful completion of this course. This certificate is accepted by colleges. BENEFITS: ====================== - Once in a lifetime opportunity - Professional level exposure - Networking opportunities - Supercharge your college application - Small class size = enhanced experience - Opportunities for professional development and improved job opportunities All selections are final.

Kerbal Space Program is somewhat like a NASA simulator except it's set in a fictional star system on the planet Kerbin. Players purchase various rocket parts, put them together, and then see if they can get their ship into orbit, to one of Kerbin's two moons, or even to another planet. The star system closely resembles our own, but the planet is populated with cute green characters reminiscent of the minions in the movie Despicable Me. Given Kerbal Space Program's accurate modeling of rocket construction and the and trial-and-error processes that ground rocket science, it could easily integrate into math, physics, or engineering classrooms. For instance, teachers could supplement a lesson with homework in Kerbal Space Program, asking students to achieve orbit and record the stats of their rockets for comparison. In Kerbal Space Program, students set goals, build rockets, evaluate mission results, change designs, and try again. It offers a solid simulation and students who take the time to observe flight readouts and toy with the ship's trajectory will learn fundamentals of rocket science and realistic, modern-day space flight.

This course is taught by acclaimed physicist, Derek Chau, who is passionate about understanding nature. WELCOME TO FINDING YOUR BIOMIMICRY PATH. As a student, this is your very special opportunity to find your place in advancing regenerative solutions. You can begin your journey by following many pathways to connect with nature and bring biomimicry into your life, and to the world. Your instructor will show how you can begin to reverse engineer nature, the oldest and wisest inventor, so that you gain skills needed to understand and eventually mimic amazing organic solutions which evolved over millennia. As you progress, and depending on your age and grade level, you may choose to explore nature’s strategies and learn how to apply them to problems. There are many resources and tools to help you learn from nature and discover biological inspiration. Through PV Net you may choose to enter the Biomimicry competition and compete in one of the following: - the Middle School National Division, or, - the High School National Division. Students who compete must work in Teams. To learn more about the Biomimicry Institute, visit their website at biomimicry.org. While you are on their website, view the 2nd place winning entry in the High School National competition created by PVNet alumni, - Baseem. - His entry is titled, "Bird Hive". The web address is - biomimicry.org/youthdesignchallenge - This PVNet course was inspired by Baseem's lifelong interest in nature and technology. Baseem entered college in Fall of 2023. As we eagerly await news about his future innovative biomimicry solutions - we all wish him happiness and success.
