Drones for Creativity and Computer Science

Discover what it takes to bring drones into the classroom as a part of this hands-on workshop. Participants will learn to fly a drone manually as well as code it to fly autonomously. You’ll experience activities, curriculum, and tips for getting your students started.    We’ll also demonstrate how 3D design and multimedia projects can integrate with drone use to truly address the “A” in STEAM programs and infuse more creativity into your classroom.  Participants will also learn drone terminology, career opportunities, safety issues, legal concerns, operational requirements, and drone purchase options. You’ll see a demonstration of higher end drones, be a part of your first  group drone photo, and compete in a drone coding contest for prizes!  Most importantly, you will walk out with the drone you’ve been learning with all day so you can continue the learning at home or school. Please bring a laptop or Chromebook, AND a cell phone or tablet to this workshop.
