After severe flooding, major areas of STIIX-Ville are inaccessible. The Mayor of STIIX-Ville has issued an emergency request for aerial support. Roads are damaged, and first responders need a safe way to assess the situation.
Emergency Teams Need Aerial Inspection To:
- Assess damaged bridges
- Locate stranded residents
- Deliver medical supplies
- Identify safe landing zones
The Process
Students will apply principles of aerospace engineering and physics to design, build, and safely operate a functional wooden quadcopter. Acting as Junior Drone Engineers, students must solve a real-world emergency in the fictional community of STIIX-Ville by assessing infrastructure damage and delivering simulated medical supplies following severe flooding.
Through this mission, students will investigate torque balance, flight dynamics (Throttle, Yaw, Pitch, and Roll), and FAA safety compliance while documenting their engineering process.
- Students Served: 15-30 students
- Kit Size: 21"x14"x6.5"
