Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference

Take coding to a new level with a microdrone, an invaluable tool for developing STEM skills! Learn how you can control a microdrone indoors with your students using a block-style programming code. Participants learn to code and fly their unmanned aircraft. Safety and FAA regulations are discussed in order to learn how to fly responsibly. This MITI includes the microdrone and controller (Parrot MAMBO, Parrot FLYPAD), the ISTE book Drones in Education Let Your Student's Imaginations Soar, and the workshop fee. This book is a great resource for learning the rationale for using drones in education, rules pertaining to teachers and the use of drones in education, as well as classroom implementation strategies including sample lesson plans. This workshop is offered in both MITI (a device is included in the workshop fee) and BYOD (bring your own device per the requirements listed) formats. The specific device(s) selected and exact price will be posted on the conference website in early October - www.nhcmtc.org. (Presenter(s): Sheila Adams, 7th Grade Science Teacher, Rye Jr. High School, and Andrea O'Neil, SAU 15 - Auburn)
