       Show HN: Using aerospace projects to teach maths [video]
        
       Hi, my name is Aditya, and I'm working on teaching math through a
       mission-based approach. I've provided a video link that serves as a
       trailer for one of my challenges. Here's how it works:  1.
       Understand the Challenge: In this mission, the goal is to design a
       UAV that can fly between mountains to avoid enemy radar.  2. Create
       Your Solution: Students create a basic design--either on paper or
       using Blender--while doing calculations. Topics like algebra,
       geometry, etc., come into play. Once ready, they upload their
       design.  3. AI Analysis: The AI analyzes the design, runs a
       simulation, and provides results in the form of expected output and
       points.  The aim is simple: give students a project to work on so
       they can practice math while also learning about aerospace and
       science.  I'm looking for feedback and beta users to test this
       approach. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!  About
       me: I've been working on game-based learning for the past three
       years. I've built a few games to teach topics like trigonometry and
       algebra, and I'm constantly trying to push the boundaries of how
       students engage with STEM topics.

       | I love the idea of teaching maths using video games or
       | simulations.

         | Sure men. The demo video is my latest challenge. Please sent a
         | mail to "adiconimp11@gmail.com". I will be happy to onboard
         | you. Current mission is about working on uav which can hide
         | from radar by flying below mountain range.

       | Seems like more of a Matlab use case.

       | Maybe you can find someone that works in aerospace in your area
       | and have them reach out to their Siemens sale rep to see if
       | Siemens created anything that can be useful. I'm guessing at one
       | point they created some things for outreach to STEM or that can
       | be used. Maybe there are tools for aerospace engineers to dumb
       | things down to visuals to show their PHBs?

         | Thanks for sharing this information. I will surely outreach
         | them. There are tools to learn about aerospace basics on nasa
         | website but my approach is more mission based.
