My Project

My students have spent too much time inside and on computers. Learning about flight and getting outside will be a great way to get them excited about learning and moving at the same time. My middle school students will also use this as a teaching tool sharing the experience with some of the elementary classes.

Students will start the year learning about the dynamics of flight.

The drone will be used to help students improve their hand and eye coordination. Through controlling the drone, they can practice the movement of their hands in sync with following the motion of the drone with their eyes.

In our small rural school many students have never been far from home. The drone may be the first time they see the world from another viewpoint. They will be using aerial photography to aid in teaching many skills while exciting them about aerospace and all it has to offer.
