Seeing the World Differently

Help me give my students programable drones so that they have the chance to see their world from a birdseye view, develop coding and directionality skills, and create cinematic views for their movie creations.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are scientists, mathematicians, readers, authors, artists, and explorers. My students make discoveries each and every day. They are budding world leaders and the world changers of tomorrow. ALL of their learning does not just happen inside the physical space of our classrooms, but through experiences with community members and by learning about and utilizing new technology.

My students need reliable and easy build and use drones.

My Project

These drones will be used in a multitude of grade levels, which is extremely exciting. Because of the drones' flexibility in use and programming, varying-aged students (K-8) will have access to see their world from a different perspective. Our

My students want to see their world from a variety of viewpoints and who doesn't want to fly with the birds!?

They will use them to learn programming and coding, create videos of our campus and other areas around our city, and learn and utilize directionality skills. Along with these resources, our middle school engineering and middle school design students are designing a drone track and need these drones to make their drone racing dreams come true!
