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.
