Interactive Rocket Simulation for Science Education
A Unity simulation letting students change rocket parameters and watch the resulting flight behaviour in real time, across PC and tablet.
Problem
Rocket dynamics are hard to build intuition for from equations alone, particularly for students meeting them for the first time.
Method
An interactive Unity environment where students modify parameters such as fuel capacity and thrust and observe real-time outcomes, with realistic physics calculations for velocity and altitude tracking and multi-user interaction support across PC and tablet platforms.
