Lesson 3
Sector Search
Students learn about and discuss past and the future of search and rescue (SAR) drone technology. Then, they work through a real-life case study using the Engineering Design Process (EDP). During the activity, they code Hopper to fly in a sector search pattern to simulate an aerial search where the location of a lost individual is accurately known.
Learning Objectives
-Participate in a group discussion working through the Engineering Design Process to envision the possible future of SAR drone technology.
-Accurately code Hopper to fly in a sector search pattern in the shape of three equilateral triangles.
-Use the Engineering Design Process (EDP) and STEM practices to redesign Hopper’s code as needed.
