Project 'X' The Drone

Help me give my students a Drone Frame, Arduino, motors, propellers, FPV drone GPS module, and Transmitter. The flying drone will not only bring a smile on their face but also, it will increase their curiosity.

My Students

In this 21st century, all students need is coding skills. My students are working on a project called "Project X", this project contains a custom drone buildup, a programmable drone, which will fly up in the sky with dreams of my students. This drone will use camera in it, to record the beauty when it flies up in the sky.

Code is God, I believe.

My 4 Brilliants students are working on it, all they need is funding. Coding in the classroom isn't just for job preparedness. Other than the obvious practical skill of coding, teaching coding in the classroom can help students learn other important skills that will help them be successful lifelong learners.

My Project

My student will set up the quadcopter and then they will be programming the Arduino, they will be setting up the Flysky transmitter and receiver with the Arduino. They will set up all the required materials like GPS, Motors, Accelerometers, Gyroscope, Propellers with tapes and soldering iron kit.

At last but not least, the flying drone will not only bring a smile on their face but also, it will increase their curiosity.

Science curriculum materials that include opportunities for students to engage in science practices, in a manner called for in the new national standards, can prepare students for next generation science learning. Curriculum materials matter because they guide what teachers do in the classroom. High-quality materials provide structure to engage students in science practices, and they provide tools to help teachers improve their teaching of these practices. High quality materials can help teachers implement new standards, help students learn more, and extend equitable opportunities to learn science to all.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
