Combining Innovation & Technology
THE CHALLENGE: Code your drone to perform tricks and through obstacles. Using the ipads and the Tello EDU App, fly and code the drones to perform anything you'd like them to do. Be creative with your 'missions' and be sure they have a purpose!!
The Details:
Play with the Tello EDU app and try to figure it out. There are kinks and issues that can occur so be prepared to do some troubleshooting. (Day 1&2)
Practice creating missions and improve your skills in making your drone fly with coding block commands. (Days 3&4)
Be creative and think of 'missions' that you can create for your drone to fly. Use the orange hoops, obstacles, etc. to create and extended 'mission'. Write the code to make it work and document your progress along the way. Record both the failed and successful missions. (Days 5-8)
Take your recordings and create a video to show what you tried and were able to accomplish flying your drone. Export and upload video to your slides and complete the rest of the presentation. (Days 9-end of project)
Tello EDU has a tutorial on the App itself. However, here is a quick 2:46 min. video to help as well.
STEAM U Levels:
Learn to fly the drone but don't create a 'mission' for the drone to complete.
Most of the time spent just flying the drone without a purpose or direction towards a purpose.
Progress isn't documented visually in a way that time is being used efficiently.
Coded missions completed or at least attempted and documented.
Coded missions had clear purpose
Progress posts and slides have both clear written and visual communication about what you have been spending your time trying to accomplish.
Coded missions were successful. Missions had a greater purpose that would theoretically solve a problem and help people.
Slides are very clear in code blocks and lines used. Perhaps even coding languages were used as an advanced technology.
Drone issues were independently problem solved.
