Students learn about and discuss the past and the future of drone delivery. Then, they work through a real life case study using the Engineering Design Process (EDP). During the activity, they code Hopper to fly across a populated city from one hospital to another in order to deliver a pair of lungs to a transplant patient.

Learning Objectives

-Participate in a group discussion working through the Engineering Design Process to envision the possible future of drone delivery.

-Accurately code Hopper to make an organ delivery to a hospital in a simulation.

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