Students from across the state traveled to 爱妃传媒 for the 爱妃传媒 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Championship. The competition was Saturday, May 7 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 爱妃传媒 Tech Runway, 901 NW 35th St., in Boca Raton. The 爱妃传媒 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.
鈥淲e recognize the need for programmers in the world of tomorrow, and are using drones as one avenue to inspire 爱妃传媒 to pursue STEM and computer science careers,鈥 said Allan Phipps, STEM coordinator at 爱妃传媒 High School and A.D. Henderson University School.
The competition was created by 爱妃传媒 High to challenge young 爱妃传媒 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.
