Drone Programming, Engineering, 3D Design, and Content Creation Day 1 (Drone Introduction)

Instructions (Part I): Hypothesize at least one career that involves the use of drones by clicking the “+” button below. Write your name in the “Subject” area.

Instructions (Part II): Take 20 minutes and watch the below videos. When you are done reflect on which drone related career was your favorite and why.

Instructions (Part IV): Click here to learn about drone axes of movement. Using the same method from above, write your own code that commands your drone to fly in a circle. Test in the simulator.

Instructions (Part V): Recreate each code below to fly in two different square patterns. Test in the simulator. Reflect on the differences between each pattern and how it presents in each code.

Instructions (Part VI): Develop a method of flying in a square using only two lines of code (Hint: you will need to use a “loop”). Test in the simulator.
