Drone Racing

With our first race being put on hold, McCormick drone fliers used the opportunity to begin design of a "Gauntlet" course that focuses on how to move through tough situations. We thought about what we have all needed to do lately with the changes due to COVID to be successful. These are the categories that we felt were really important:

• Acceptance- Learning to deal with failure and disappointment

• Balance- Balancing needs, wants, time, effort, and more!

• Creativity- Being creative as therapy and being creative to solve problems

• Interference- Dealing with the interferences in our world that can sometimes be a problem

• Perseverance- Keep Moving Forward

• Resistance- There can be resistance to change

From these categories, STEAM Club members began design on a six part Gauntlet that would require fliers to dig deep for success.

This engineering challenge activity will be expanded upon in December as the course is built and students race through the challenges.

Here are some beginning trials...
