ST. FREDERICK HIGH SCHOOL LAUNCHES A DRONE PROGRAM

SFHS kicked off its Drone Program this semester in Digital Design with its freshmen and sophomore students. The students will learn Block, Python, and JavaScript coding in the classroom using the Tello drone. Mr. Lindow will cover safety, regulations, and the real-world applications of drone technology. The students will be using science, technology, engineering, and math skills as they build and fly their drones. The students also visited Mr. Darrion Flunder-Jenkins at the University of Louisiana - Monroe this semester. He spoke to the students about the importance of drones in today’s society and how you can get a degree in learning how to fly and program commercial and military drones. He shared that there is a lot of potential for drone usage, and learning about them can be a valuable asset. Potential jobs using drones could include agriculture, search and rescue, construction, real estate photography, and the military. Our students are excited to learn how to program and fly drones this year.
