A Champion For Learning - $2,000.00

Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 150

Using educational drones in my classroom greatly benefited my students’ learning because it combined hands-on experiences with real-world applications of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The drones engaged my students through interactive lessons that enhanced problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration. They provided a dynamic way to teach concepts like flight, coding, and data collection, making abstract ideas more tangible and exciting. Additionally, the drones were used in cross-curricular activities, promoting creativity and innovation while preparing students for future careers in technology and engineering fields. Our students even taught their grandparents how to code during Grandparents’ Day! These drones have provided an educational and fun way to teach basic coding challenges, math in motion, and map and compass skills. We even found a way to create a storytelling flight! We tied the drones into language arts by having students write a story and then program the drone to “act it out” through movement - flying from setting to setting as the story progresses.

Original Grant Overview

Goal(s)

The goal is to offer a new exciting STEM technology to 4th and 5th grade students. Exciting them in a new concept of technology beyond screen time.

Project Description

Start out with block-based coding to share foundational knowledge about CS or dive right into Python, one of the most popular coding languages today.

The CoDrone has seven advanced sensors packed into this small framework. Kids can control each of these sensors with code to detect information about the environment. They could also program the lights and sounds and indicate when they've detected an obstacle or flown above a certain height.

The controller isn't just for piloting—it can read real-time sensor data and it's also fully programmable. Use code to create your own controls, draw sensor data on the screen, or create your own applications.

Expected Outcomes

Collaborate with older and younger students.
Be aware of new technologies
be able to use technology in a real world scenario
Applies to all subjects in school
Classroom setting not outside.

Purpose of Funding

This will be a single purchase. All materials and teacher curriculum is included.
