Students will have hands on experience to create code, test code, problem solve, and then fly over various scenarios in the school setting. They will create videos and students will edit the footage in class for a spot on the school website. STEM exposure for students means they will have the opportunity to experience the pros and cons of drones including, crashes and fixing drones, policies, security and privacy issues. The high school students then will share their experience with senior citizens and middle grade students to teach them some of the basics of flying and coding a drone.
