What’s All the Buzz About? Investigating the Dynamic World of Drones Part 3 of 4: Max Axiom, STEM Adventurer
by Ellen Miller
This lesson is part three of four lessons, which culminate in the flight of drones built by the students.
Lesson 3: Max Axiom, STEM Adventurer focuses on commercial, scientific, and government drones and how UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) impacts the future. Students are introduced to the Pitsco Drone Maker Kits and work through the process of building their drone with a partner. This process involves measurement, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills to ensure a properly functioning drone.
