Students learn about and discuss how drones are used in structure inspections. During the activity, they code Hopper to simulate inspecting a bridge after an earthquake so that they can identify any changes in the structure.

Learning Objectives

-Participate in a group discussion about the ways in which drones are used in structure inspections.

-Accurately code Hopper to inspect various viewpoints of a bridge in a simulation with the use of a a function.

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