Drone Light Show
by Nicholas Valdez
In the Drone Light Show project, students will explore the intersection of technology, creativity, and teamwork by designing and programming their own synchronized drone light show. Utilizing DJI Tello drones and DroneBlocks programming software, students will collaborate in teams to create visually stunning sequences of drone movements and LED light patterns. This project integrates hands-on programming skills with principles of design and mathematical concepts as students plan, execute, and present their unique drone light show to their peers. Through this project, students will develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills while engaging in a futuristic and innovative application of drone technology.
