In this workshop, students will get the opportunity to get hands-on with an emerging technology and think about the applications of maths beyond the numbers.
Students will be challenged to code and fly their own drones. Practicing skills in block coding and geometry, students will work in teams to direct drones through a series of shapes and patterns. Along the way, students will learn about the applications of drones in industries such as agriculture, research, logistics and emergency response.
Key Themes: Drone industry, robotics and mathematics.
