Drone Simulation

 This week, I worked with Drone Blocks, a drone simulator that allows us to practice our coding skills in the real world by sending our code from a computer or phone to the drone. This course introduces very essential programming principles and autonomous flight using the program Tello drone and Drone Blocks. This course will teach us about the basic block programming and allow me to gain insight into the Tello drone's capabilities.

I am attaching a link that will show you exactly what I did with my drone.

INTRO

I learned that you would have to add "take-off" or yee left or right.

If you "loop" something it makes it repeat the sequence until it does the correct thing.

When you are ready to launch your drone when you are finished editing it you will click on the launch menu section. 

SIMULATOR

When I was using the simulator, it was very interesting and a little difficult. I couldn't at first get it to take off but then I shortly remembered after the fact that you had to add take off for it to take off. I know that is common sense. My simulator was able to make squares as well as flip forward. 

ISTE TEKS

5.2.c 

Choose teaching approaches that help to foster an inclusive computing culture, 

avoid stereotype threats and equitably engage all students.  

5.3 C ) Plan collaboratively with other educators to create learning activities that cross disciplines to strengthen student understanding of CT and CS concepts and transfer application of knowledge in new contexts.


I found it making squares and flipping was the most interesting to me. I was able to make my drone go straight then flip forward and then flip backwards, it was amazing. I did not know that a drone could do that. At first, I thought drones could just fly in straight lines and straight up but I found out that they can actually do flips and turns.

    Science TEKS- Long Strand Concepts with Essence Statements K-12 K-2.1.B create original products using a variety of resources; Gardening TEK-  K-2.1.B create original products using a variety of resources; Gardening Topic: Investigating the different organisms that would make up our gardening ecosystem(How will they interact with one another? Which are producers, consumers?) Materials Needed:  - Cricut bumble bee design - Fake Flowers - Pipe cleaners - Ground Up Chalk for the Pollen - Glue Stick Gardening Maker Space Hero Journey: ISTE CT Standards 3a :  Model and learn with students how to formulate  computational solutions  to problems and how to give and receive actionable feedback. Students will watch a video of how a bee pollinates a flower.  Students will formulate their own computational solutions to problems consumers can cause in a garden. 3b :  Apply effective teaching strategies to support student collaboration around computing...

WeDo2: Make A Sound Machine

Image
               Today Mia and I chose to do the "Make a Sound Machine". We have decided to name our machine after a very famous rapper "Ice Cube". Our sound machine makes quite a few different noises. We could not figure out how to create it exactly how the picture of the example looks. We were able to have it change colors as well as and even move.  ISTE: 5b) Empower Students to select personally meaningful computational projects.   5.1 b) Learn to recognize where and how computation can be used to enrich data or content to solve discipline-specific problems and be able to connect these opportunities to foundational CT practices and CS concepts.  5.5 c) Use a variety of instructional approaches to help students frame problems in ways that can be represented as computational steps or algorithms to be performed by a computer.   For more info: https://education.lego.com/en-us/lessons/maker-elementary/make-a-sou...

Exit Ticket October 3rd

  TEK: Art, 3rd Grade - 2C: Produce drawings; paintings; prints; sculpture, including modeled forms; and other art forms suchs as ceramics, fiber art, constructions, mixed media, installation art, digital art and media, and photographic imagery using a variety of materials. I love being creative and I actually own my own business being creative. I also take lots of pictures of my bonus son's football team when they are playing. I love being creative and taking lots of pictures of my family.
