Drones offer the chance to engineer, design and focus on experiential learning in the lab. We will explore the basics of unmanned aerial vehicles ("drones"). Students will have the opportunity to use their cognitive development and critical thinking to operate state-of-the art aircraft. The first two days will be project based learning experience about the mechanics of flight, how drones operate and how to build our own to fly. A focus on drone safety, FAA regulations and the social responsibility of flying drones will be explored. Find out the number of ways drones are being used such as exploration on Titan, a moon of Saturn and what professional jobs use drone technology as an aid. During the last day, as a single group we will explore the basics of unmanned aerial vehicles ("drones"). Students will have the opportunity to operate state-of-the art aircraft, specifically the DJI Spark with certified drone instructor John and Hollis Munson.

Limited to 10 students in each session. Fee: $200 for the program includes all materials. Please contact lnordmann@fairbanksmuseum.org to sign up.
