In this activity, students will gain a better understanding of the types of sensors installed on drones, how the sensors work, any advantages or limitations of the sensors, and how a drone’s sensors can provide benefits to society while improving safety features for sharing the airspace with other aircraft. Students will imagine innovative solutions to real-world problems facing their local communities and demonstrate how those problems could be solved by designing a sensor.
