Engineering Students Enjoy Drone Coding Workshop ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The Upper Academy recently welcomed Jake from Hyett Education, who delivered an engaging drone coding STEM workshop to our Year 10 Engineering students. 

Our budding engineers worked in teams using their programming skills to code the flight patterns of their drones. Students set specific algorithms using Swift coding language, enabling them to navigate drones to different altitudes and distances, whilst avoiding obstacle such as ceiling heights and furniture.

"I really enjoyed learning to program the drones today. The instructions given by Jake were straightforward and the challenge of programming the drone to follow a pathway really forced me to use my maths skills." Nojus.K

"I enjoyed using the coding software to program the drone to rotate, hover, take off, land and rotate at different angles - a very fun lesson!" Ace.W
