The drones will inspire students to dream big and develop their 21st Century skills of critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, perseverance and collaboration. They will extend their learning at home by doing research on nature and how they can apply it to drones. Students will go through the Engineering Design Process, or EDP, to ask important questions, develop a plan, create their drones, experiment and gather data, make modifications, and prepare for the challenge. This project will hopefully lead into the district drone competition at the high school level. This will help to develop relationships with other elementary schools and get my students excited about science when they enter high school.
