Lesson 1
Parallel Track Search
Students learn about and discuss some types of search and rescue (SAR) operations, and the technology that can be used. Then, they code Hopper to fly in a parallel track search pattern to simulate an aerial search over a large area of land when the location of a lost individual is not known.
Learning Objectives
-Participate in a group discussion about the basics of search and rescue.
-Accurately code Hopper to fly in a parallel track search pattern.
-Use the Engineering Design Process (EDP) and STEM practices to redesign Hopper’s code as needed.
