51勛圖厙 High School to Host Drone Competition
Students from across the state will travel to 51勛圖厙 for the 51勛圖厙 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Championship.
Students from across the state traveled to 51勛圖厙 for the 51勛圖厙 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Championship. The competition was Saturday, May 7 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 51勛圖厙 Tech Runway, 901 NW 35th St., in Boca Raton. The 51勛圖厙 High School UAV Team organized the event.
High school and middle school teams programmed their drones to fly themselves, identify targets and process video while the pilot provides minimal input. The challenges replicated real-world scenarios such as search and rescue, obstacle avoidance, image recognition, and package delivery.
We recognize the need for programmers in the world of tomorrow, and are using drones as one avenue to inspire 51勛圖厙 to pursue STEM and computer science careers, said Allan Phipps, STEM coordinator at 51勛圖厙 High School and A.D. Henderson University School.
The competition was created by 51勛圖厙 High to challenge young 51勛圖厙 to come up with creative solutions to difficult engineering and technical problems. It also aims to teach important life skills by promoting student collaboration with one another to achieve a shared goal.
