My Project

Utah has approved a drone design and maintenance course for the next school year. We did our first pilot class of drone program (no pun intended) the 2022-2023 school year and had a rocky, but very educational start, when it came to equipment. For this next year, now that the course has been approved by the state official, I want to make sure my students have the supplies they need to troubleshoot and avoid problems the pilot course had.

Getting these parts now will ensure my students won't be stuck waiting on delivery times when something goes wrong and they'll all be able to participate in the TSA State Drone Design competition.
