Drone Rescue

Whether you call them Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Miniature Pilotless Aircraft or Flying Mini Robots, drones are rapidly growing in popularity. They are still in the infancy stage in terms of mass adoption and usage, but drones have already broken through rigid traditional barriers in industries which otherwise seemed impenetrable by similar technological innovations.

Throughout this STEM unit the students discover the uses of drones and how they might be used in the real world as a rescue device. They used this device to rescue a Sphero that they had codded to meet a drone at a designated pickup point, then flew to a new drop of point in order for the Sphero to continue its journey.
