In this workshop, students create their own "Animated Rocket Launch" project in Scratch, using "broadcast" to create a countdown, ignition, and liftoff sequence that directs their rocket into space. Additionally, students will discover the science underlying actual rocket launches, beginning with a balloon demonstration of Newton's Third Law and escape velocity before learning about the Space Launch System (SLS), NASA's most powerful rocket to date.
