Thrilled to hear it's getting use outside just my little sphere of influence, but the real credit goes to all the great folks on the forums who have guided me in this endeavor! Thanks gang! Definitely up for some online collaboration -- would love to hear how it works out in your class. Once your project is complete, perhaps we could find a time to talk and maybe try to compile our learnings to improve future efforts on both sides of the pond?

And with one day left, we finally have our first non-Kerbin landing on Duna, which included a manual docking and return to Kerbin! http://aplusphysics.com/community/index.php/topic/1867-ksp-harbres-research/page-2 Thanks for all the help folks, some re-tooling and tweaking for next year, but I'd consider this project a great success!

Also, the project got KSP some more good press on PC Gamer: http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/05/30/kerbal-space-program-blasts-into-physics-classroom-as-an-end-of-year-project/

Some more great ideas, thanks folks. Will definitely incorporate many of these when I re-tool the project for next year's classes!

Looks like some others are starting to pick up on the idea of KSP in physics classes. Check out this blog post in Wired.com by SE Louisiana Physics Professor Rhett Allain!

Much as I'd like to, it was already a huge undertaking to get the game set up on our classroom computers, allow the students access to the Screenshots folders (an ongoing issue), etc. I'm pretty certain I'd be pushing my luck by trying to get our IT folks to install modifications. Good thought, though!

I love it!

This is awesome, thank you!

Thanks, I've added a link to The Drawing Board on the resources portion of our project page. Tons of great stuff for the kids (and myself) to devour!

I'm not sure if it will let you upload .crafts or not... will be interesting to find out. I'm thinking in general, though, that they're probably better off struggling through the building of their own rockets / stations / etc. You could link to them on another site if they're posted elsewhere, though. Thanks for the great feedback!

Much appreciated -- so far all the advice from so many wonderful "teaching assistants" has been tremendous! Thank you!

Login and username are now changed.

It was just waiting on you to validate your e-mail address. Done manually, you should be all set!

Please -- the more feedback and interest, the more excitement, engagement, and ultimately, learning! And if you have some ideas on some awards for Easter Eggs, let me know and I'll add them to our prize page!

Thanks White Rider -- I'll get working on that issue right away.
