Intro to controls with Drones
Lesson Outline
We discussed basic concepts of how air dynamics work with airplanes, helicopters and drones. We compared the way a simple drone with no control works to how a high level top technology drone works. We analyzed the technology involved for recent drones: Gyroscope, camera, GPS, WiFi connection, battery, etc. We discussed advantages and capabilities.

Lesson Comments
Students enjoyed the experience with the drone and preferred the one full of controls that makes them easier to fly without effort from the user plus it stabilizes the drone to help avoiding accidents.
