Deploy Drone: Piloting, View of Earth, Speed and Cargo Challenge

Fly into current technology use with this unit! The Deploy Drone unit plans will take student learning of drones, topography, speed calculations, and engineering practices to a whole new level. Students will learn drone piloting regulations, safety practices and piloting techniques and apply that knowledge as they are immersed in practical uses for drones in our society. Finishing the learning with an engineering challenge, students will gain a true appreciate of rapid prototyping and the steps of the engineering process. Students will track their learning through an engineering journal.

Communication, Coding, and Ollie

This STEAM kit will teach students to code Ollie through drawing, block, and text coding. Students will explore various types of communication and relate them to the various ways they can communicate with Ollie. As students start to learn how to code they will learn how to relate block coding to text code. In addition to coding and communication students will expand their knowledge of geometry and physics concepts.

Lessons:
Module 1: Communication – Hello, Ollie!
Module 2: Communicate with Geometry and Color
Module 3: Communicate with Text Coding
Module 4: Communicate Forces and Motion with Reference
Module 5/6: Communicate, Code, and Challenge Ollie
