In this hands-on lesson, students learn how to get their drone into the air. It covers hovering, yaw, roll, and pitch. Before the students launch their drones, there is a discussion about preparing the drones for flight as well as establishing safety policies for creating a safe flight area. Helpful resources including videos are included.
