Shark Week 2025

Students learn about sharks and how drones are used to monitor them for safety. Then, they code Hopper to fly along a coastline in a simulation given a set of directions.

Learning Objectives:

Learn about sharks and how humans can stay safe around them.
Participate in a group discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of using drones to monitor sharks.
Using properties of angles, accurately code Hopper to fly along a coastline in a simulation given a set of directions.
Use the Engineering Design Process (EDP) and STEM practices to redesign Hopper’s code as needed.
