"So You Want to Be a Rocketeer: Stability"
By Jim Clark, 2014 May 14

This video is for teaching model rocketeers about the basics of stability, and how to design rockets to be stable.

The rocket computer-aided design programs I mentioned can be found online:

OpenRocket: openrocket.sourceforge.net
SpaceCAD: spacecad.com

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