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.

Next Generation Science Standards*
NGSS 3-5-ETS1-1
Define a simple design problem reflecting a want or need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
NGSS 3-5-ETS1-2
Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
NGSS 3-5-ETS1-3
Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
NGSS 4-PS3-1
Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.
NGSS 4-PS3-2
Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
NGSS 5-PS1-1
Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.
NGSS 5-PS2-1
Support an argument that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed down.
