Take to the skies with mini drones! Paired with thrilling, easy-to-operate aerial robotics equipment, these 12 one-hour lessons are the perfect introduction to the world of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In this exploration of UAV technology, safety is a priority as students learn to fly and capture aerial photos and videos, exploring the real-world applications and possibilities of drones while developing their own science and engineering practices. Putting critical thinking to the test, the camp also has students brainstorm ways drones could be used for good, preparing learners for tomorrow's drone-filled future.

Tech requirements:

Droneology Ed App: One device per student (digital curriculum is compatible with Internet-connected Macs, PC’s, iPads, Android tablets and Chromebooks.)

Tello Quadcopters: One smartphone or tablet required per drone as a radio controller (requires Android 4.4.0 or later, iOS 9.0 or later; not compatible with FireOS, Amazon's tablet operating system)
