On BCPS Blue Day this year, 4th grade students at Rodgers Forge Elementary took on a challenging mission: to fly drones from a take-off point to a landing pad, while their drone was pulling a BCPS Blue banner that was able to be read by others on the ground.
The students used a modified version of the engineering design process in order to attach their banners securely in a way that would make the readable in flight. They attempted several test flights, made adjustments, and tested again. These 4th graders not only completed their mission, but they learned a great deal about flight concepts and applied that to control the drones as well.
