Students learn basic aviation terminology and practice flying with a mock flight simulator in preparation for flying a UAV or "drone". ![]() |
Students test a glider's launch design, payload, and atmospheric wind conditions that could favorably or negataively impact the pilot's intention to provide rescue supplies to a mountain community in need. ![]() |
Students plan a disaster relief mission employing a UAV (drone) by filling in a comic book-like storyboard of engineering design steps. ![]() |
This activity uses stacks of blocks to demonstrate how a parallel-processing computer can complete calculations more quickly than a single, serial processor. ![]() |
Students will fly their UAVs over a scale-model town that has been struck with a disaster, surveying the damage via a camera on the UAV. ![]() |
Students deliver a payload (representing disaster relief aid) using a UAV (drone) after designing a skyhook to carry and release the payload. ![]() |
Students use a UAV to pick up and carry a small payload, retrieving it from the far side of the room. Students design a "skyhook" to grab the payload. ![]() |
Students test the battery life for UAVs ("drones") in preparation for more advanced "missions" and challenges. ![]() |
Students test the ability of a UAV ("drone") to lift and carry a weight. The weight simulates a payload, such as sensors or supplies, transported by the UAV. ![]() |
