Goal

*Students will become more familiar with robotics.
*The use of drones encourages STEM learning.
*Drones can also be used to teach the importance of safety and responsibility within the aviation industry.
*Students can learn about drone technology and its diverse applications.
*The curriculum would give students the opportunity to become more technologically literate whilst having fun at the same time.

 

What will be done with my students

Students will create flight plans and test them by flying the drone. That way, they can experience real-world problems that arise from poor planning. Other uses:
1. Drone races
2. Stem challenges
3. Obstacle courses
4. Art and drones 

Benefits to my students

A new report from Samsung’s Alternative Careers Guide, released back in August 2020 discovered that 16-to-18-year-olds are no longer interested in traditional jobs such as becoming an accountant, teacher or lawyer. Instead, they sparked more interest in digital roles – with a drone operator being amongst the top ten most popular dream careers. Over recent years, it has become increasingly common for teachers to utilize interactive learning tools such as drones within the classroom.
By welcoming drones into the classroom, teachers have a new way of making learning more fun, innovative and interactive for children. Drones also provide students with the opportunity to learn about technology that they may wish to base their future career on.
