My Project

I would like to be able to give my students some unforgettable learning experiences. As many of them come from low-income homes, using interesting technology is not something they often can get to use.

Students will be using the drone to learn about flight and aerial photography, as that is a major industry that is currently growing.

The students will learn how to pilot the drones in a safe and professional manner as well as earn their FAA TRUST certificates. Once students have learned basic flying skills then will be tasked to fly over the school roof area inspecting and photographing markers that represent problem areas.
