"So You Want to Be a Rocketeer: How (Not) to Fly"

This video is for showing model rocketeers why aerospace engineers use launch procedures and datasheets to better control their launches (for rocket competitions, being able to precisely control and record every aspect of every launch is key to victory). It also shows some sample forms that are suitable for model rocketeers. The forms shown in the video will be linked here when they are uploaded online.

Technical Skiing: The Science Behind Making the Perfect Turn

$The Science of Snowflakes Produced by Emily Salvador; created May 5, 2014 This video is designed to explore different technical disciplines (Chemistry, Math, and Computer Science) through the topic of snowflakes to motivate students to further explore those disciplines. The audience of this video is middle school students. The vocabulary and content discussed in this video is simplified enough to target that population. This video is part of a group of videos produced by ES.333 (Production of Educational Videos). For more information on Disney Animations Snowflake Generator, check out this research paper (https://www.math.ucla.edu/~jteran/papers/SSCTS13.pdf). To play around with a neat fractal generator, check out the following simulation (http://www.shodor.org/master/fractal/software/Snowflake.html). Since this video is tailored for middle school students, relevant courses at MIT might be too advanced for our viewers but check out 5.111s class page, 18.01s class page, and 6.01s class page for a more in depth look at some of the technical topics covered in this video. My video can be divided into three sections: Chemistry (0:00-3:58); Randomness (3:58-5:34); Computer Simulation (5:34-6:38) I would like to thank Walt Disney Animation Studio for allowing me to show visuals from their research on snow simulation. I would like to thank my content expert Joseph Azzarelli.$
