Minds-i STEM Integrated Robotics: UAV Drones Lab

Take STEM learning to new heights with cutting-edge, programmable drones. The allure of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) attracts a diverse group of students to explore programming, electromechanical systems, and aerodynamics. Students design, build, and program drones for aerial search and rescues, GPS-guided crop dusting, autonomous deliveries to remote locations, and other compelling industry-related challenges.

Spark and Sustain Students' Interest in STEM

MINDS-i Robotics engages students in an energizing STEM learning environment with easy to build, program, and modify robots. Technologically advanced rovers and drones perform impressive real-world tasks that build excitement for STEM careers. The curriculum encourages collaborative problem-solving and the open-source Arduino® C++ programming language fosters endless creativity. With outstanding technical support, teachers are empowered and students are inspired to build whatever they envision in their “mind’s eye.”

Course Design

Each lab is a half-semester (45 Hours) and designed for 3-5 students. Foundations is the recommended prerequisite to the MINDS-i Drone Curriculum.

Science, Technology, Engineering, Math

By 2018, the U.S. will have more than 1.2 million unfilled jobs in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) because there will not be enough qualified workers to fill them. STEM is where jobs are today and where the job growth will be in the future.

Through activity-, project-, and problem-based curriculum, our programs give students a chance to apply what they know, identify problems, find unique solutions, and lead their own learning. When students understand how their education is relevant to their lives and future careers, they get excited, and are more successful.

Students gain knowledge and skills in the following STEM areas:

  • Engineering design process
  • Industry standard 3D modeling software
  • Using an engineer’s notebook
  • Mechanisms, energy, statics, materials, and kinematics
  • Development of residential and commercial properties and structures
  • Project research, testing and validation techniques
