Description

Course Description:

Students develop an understanding of safe, ethical, and innovative drone technologies and their critical impact on the future. Learning how to effectively use a drone becomes an amazing way to integrate math, coding, and engineering concepts for students while having lots of fun too! Students analyze and apply how Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs or drones) work and can be used to solve realworld problems. Through manual control, students will explore the drone’s range while building protocols for effective UAV operation. Using the Droneblocks app and Python, students will program the drone for autonomous flight while practicing simulations for package delivery, and wildlife photography.
