Students learn about and discuss the use of drones in healthcare, specifically in rural locations. Then, they code Hopper using a variable to deliver time-sensitive medications from a medical center to remote islands.

Learning Objectives

-Participate in a group discussion about the delivery of healthcare supplies, especially to rural and remote locations.

-Use knowledge of the properties of regular polygons to assist in any necessary computations.

-Accurately write a single code using a variable that commands Hopper to deliver time-sensitive medications to any of the eight equidistant islands.

-Use the Engineering Design process and STEM practices to redesign Hopper’s code as needed.
