What Students Learn

Students learn the key parts of the Hopper drone—airframe, motors, propellers, guards, controller, and batteries—and understand how each component supports safe flight. They explore the four core flight controls (pitch, roll, yaw, altitude) and how small joystick movements affect stability and direction. Students also learn how to pair Hopper to the controller, interpret indicator lights, and follow essential safety practices for setup, battery care, and first flights.

What Students Do

Students unbox Hopper, identify its components, and practice inserting batteries, attaching prop guards, and preparing the drone for flight. They pair Hopper with the controller, complete basic takeoff and landing drills, and fly simple patterns to build control and confidence. Working in teams, they finish the Quest with a Tic‑Tac‑Toe flying challenge that reinforces communication, precision, and shared responsibility for equipment and safety.
