Scratch Code Challenge: Scratch Code Space Tech

Scratch Code Challenge: Scratch Code Space Tech — page 1
Introduction In this book we will look at some key concepts used in space technology and explore them through coding We will find out about gravity and how to deal with it and travel through space We’ll be creating code to simulate how rockets and spaceships move In order to experiment with the effects of gravity we will store the value of gravity in a variable By using a variable to model gravity we will be able to make gravity stronger or weaker to see what effects it has on Earth the Moon and other planets You’ll use the algorithms and ideas in this book along with your imagination to travel through space creating your own programs These programs will help you understand how space technology works and set you on the path to dreaming up your own ideas to travel through the Universe There are a lot of different ways to create code We will be using a website called Scratch to do our coding Type scratch mit edu into your web browser then click Create to start a new project 4
