YEAR 9 COMPUTER SCIENCE STUDENTS PROGRAM DRONES USING PYTHON

Students have been learning how to code using Python, a high-level programming language, this Semester in Computer Science.

At the start of class, students were divided into groups and provided a DJI drone which they would code to do different things. Once they learnt how to connect to their drone and fly it, the next step was to program it! Their projects have included: Image Capture (live video feed to a computer), Keyboard Control, Line Following and Face Tracking.

Students have had fun adapting each of these learning activities into new ideas as they explore the capabilities of drones and Artificial Intelligence.
