During this class, we will be talking about the latest happenings in space technology and rocket launches!
The class will be a combination of slides, videos, and discussions, and learners can jump in and share their thoughts or ask questions at any point. They can also bring up topics they’ve seen or read about.
The discussions will be a combination of current events as they are happening, along with space and technology questions that your learner brings to the table. There is not a pre-determined schedule, as there are new advances in space technology and new rocket launches all the time.
For example:
– SpaceX Starship Rocket
– International Space Station
– SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket
– United Launch Alliance (Rocket Company)
– Blue Origin (Rocket Company)
– Starlink Satellites (New space-based internet technology)
– Discussion of the progression of rocket types over the years. (NASA Space Shuttle program, etc.)
– SpaceX Starship History
Note: For some of these classes I have my Women in Space classes and Kerbal Space Program classes either right before or right after with 10-20 minute breaks in between so that learners can join with like-minded friends and fill their morning or afternoon with SPACE!

Tom is an electronics whiz who has built his own functioning Ham Radio equipment and towers. Tom is excited to share his passion for Ham Radio with you through his knowledge and skills and prepare you to pass the ham radio test and obtain your very own ham radio license. (No age requirement for obtaining a ham radio license)
Tom is also a career finish carpenter with meticulous attention to detail who specializes in high-end finish carpentry. Tom has supervised full home builds from the ground up to completion. Lately, Tom's projects include building several escape rooms as well as restoring historic museums. If you would like to learn the tips and tricks of the trade, tune in to Tom's carpentry classes!
Some of Tom's greatest passions are Science and Space and he would love to share these with your learners through his Space Technology and Rocket Launch classes, his Kerbal Space Program Classes, and more!
Tom has extensive experience teaching, leading, and mentoring youth and is anxious to inspire the young people who attend his classes.
You will find Tom to be an engaging and intelligent teacher, armed with an abundance of dad jokes and witty comments.
