Making drones in a school club or even just studying models online will teach key lessons about: Robotics: One of the most obvious and direct areas that drones can teach students about is robotics. This in itself is useful not just in learning principles of say, mechanical actuators or electrical systems, but in honing the analytical thinking skills needed to understand how many different disciplines function together to make a single system work – and then, to make multiple systems work together. In many ways, this is the basis for thinking about programming and bigger logic problems, as it requires “If, then” kind of thinking, i.e. “If I do this, this event happens.” Math: A basic knowledge of trigonometry can be essential in learning how to design and operate drones. At an even higher level, STEM educator, Matthew Schroyer suggests, drones can be used to teach concepts like Bernoulli’s principle as students learn how to predict things such as stall speed. Chemistry: Students must learn about battery chemistry and capacity in order to truly understand drone design and function. Programming: Drones are controlled via a microcontroller that must be programmed. As such, building drones can be a great opportunity to learn programming skills, teamwork, problem solving, conflict resolution, and so many additional life skills are at play as well.
