Introduction to Drones: Students will explore the amazing world of drones and the multimedia tools for both commercial and recreational applications. This course will introduce students to piloting, FAA & Colorado rules and regulations, drone safety, aerial photography and video production, hardware, programming, and recreational activities such as drone racing and drone soccer. Students will develop their piloting skills using flight simulators and compete in drone sports. This course is ideal for students pursuing careers in videography, aviation, architecture, engineering, military, healthcare, search & rescue, law enforcement, firefighting or for students who just want to explore the recreational world of drones.. LAB FEE: $25 is required for design supplies and materials. Or a LAB FEE: $40 which includes a personal copy of Velocidrone for home use. *Meets MYP Design requirements

The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST)
What is TRUST? The law requires that all recreational flyers pass an aeronautical knowledge and safety test and provide proof of passage if asked by law enforcement or FAA personnel. The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST) was developed to meet this requirement.
TRUST provides education and testing on important safety and regulatory information. If you fly your drone recreationally under the Exception for Recreational Flyers, you must pass the test before you fly.
TRUST was developed in collaboration with drone stakeholders to determine content, and how it would be administered. Since June 2021, we have worked with a group of approved Test Administrators to provide TRUST as an online test. We in the FAA provide the TRUST content to the approved test administrators who, in turn, provide the online test to you, the recreational flyer.

Student Assessment: Students are assessed based on three main areas: foundation skills, developing ideas, and independent project & skills development. This holistic approach is student-centered and promotes a growth mindset. Grading is competency-based, ranging from 6-10, with 12 representing above mastery. This method allows students to practice and master competencies and skills without the penalty of receiving a poor grade, creating opportunities for them to learn from their mistakes and grow.
Developing Ideas (Ideation) Focuses on the creative process of generating, developing, and communicating new ideas. Students will follow a design process to create, develop, and communicate abstract, concrete, or visual ideas based on their interests related to the course content. Assess the student's ability to generate and develop creative ideas, looking for originality, problem-solving skills, and the ability to iterate and improve concepts.
Foundation Skills: Building foundational skills that are specific to the software and hardware used in each course strand. Students will apply these skills to mini projects, documenting their solutions. These skills can be demonstrated through teacher-guided assignments or independent student projects. Evaluate the student's basic skills and understanding of design principles, looking for accuracy, attention to detail, and application of foundational knowledge
Independent Project & Skill Development: Assesses the student's ability to independently learn new technical skills and manage an independent project. The goal is to foster an environment that promotes intrinsic skill and project exploration, ultimately giving students the opportunity, tools, and environment to explore their passions and/or future careers. Evaluate the student's ability to work independently on projects, demonstrating growth in skills and competencies. Look for self-direction, initiative, and the ability to learn from mistakes.
