Welcome to Drone Adventures! In this course, we will learn the basics of how drones work, code our own controller, and program the drone to fly a route on its own. Your team will be participating in daily challenges to test your skills.

The video below showcases an example of how drones can be used. This drone is designed for filming extreme sports and has been programmed in several different ways to adapt to the different sports. After watching the video, discuss as a class how the drone was programmed in different ways to fly autonomously (without pilot input).
