• Using DroneBlocks, I created a code for my Tello Drone. I did this because I had never worked with a drone before. I thought it would be so cool to fly a drone. Even though I didn't really fly it, it was still cool to watch it follow the code.
• During this process, I learned how to navigate through the DroneBlocks app. This app is set up a lot different than cospaces or Blocky. I also learned how to connect the drone to the Ipad.
• The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Empowered Learner because I learned a lot from this project. It also ties to Innovative Designer because I designed the code for my drone.
• A challenge I overcame on this project was how to connect the drone with the Ipad. I was able to do it by watching YouTube videos. I also asked my friends that were also working with the drone. Together, we figured it out.
• Given a chance to do this again, I would change what I put in my code. The reason why I would change it is because I think I put too many flips in the code, It kinda looks weird to do too many flips. Also, I wish I would've added some curves to the drone's route.
• Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, Marketing. My project connects to the Computer Programming part of the CTE program at Hastings High School. My project connects to careers in programming robots because I now know how to make a code for a robot.
