TAKE FLIGHT

 

Learn to pilot a drone, and navigate a series of challenges using maths and design. 

What better way to utilise key mathematics concepts like geometry and measurement than to fly a drone! 

In partnership with Chartered Accountants ANZ, this one-day course will see students take on the challenge to become pro-drone pilots. Practicing skills in block coding and geometry, students will work in teams to direct drones through a series of shapes and patterns, before competing to send their drone through an obstacle course as efficiently as possible.  

Along the way, we’ll chat about the application of drones across areas like agriculture, research, logistics, and emergency response.
