My Project

Some students learn best by destroying and rebuilding. These habits tend to show improvement in memory building, as well as improving the child’s intellectual skill set. build creativity within the minds of young students by providing them with the different components of a drone. Drones come in a variety of assembled options. A child think on their own and place the different components in different places. Letting students try, fail, and then succeed, is time-consuming and frustrating. But patience builds over time, and in the end, it’s about the process and learning along the way. These are invaluable in the learning process to create true thinkers!

Drones require a lot of focus to use while navigating from one destination to another and drones can help develop depth perception by requiring the user to judge the distance in space that the drone is flying.
