By Diane Terhune Many drone fliers are aware that they don’t need a part 107 drone license as long as they fly for pleasure only. However, did you know if you fly recreationally you still need to pass a test and carry proof with you whenever you are out flying your drone? On June 22,…
It’s been a fun first week! My favorite thing was going out into the field and getting to see how drone technology is used in precision agriculture. The pieces are starting to come together from what I learned at drone camp at the start of April. Drones can be run on a program out in…
I have been working with Dr. Ryu, the founder of the idrone (Idaho Drone League) program. Dr. Ryu has been helping me create drone-based lesson plans and projects that aligns with the high school Earth Science curriculum. For example, I designed a hands-on project in which students design a solution to a real-world, water pollution…
The iDrone CAMP is now scheduled for October 10, Saturday 9:00am – 5:00pm via Virtual Meeting due to the global pandemic (COVID-19)
These days, Unmanned Aerial System (UAS, also known as drone) are widely used for civil operations, including but not limited to transportation, delivery service, law enforcement, precision agriculture, rescue mission, public health, medical industry, real estimate business and more. UAS-based remote sensing for precision agriculture, in particular, is widely applicable to enhance crop scouting exercises. Mission-oriented actionable task using drones, however, are still limited.
The outcome of the iDrone program was successful and rewarding toward promoting STEM pipelines across Idaho and beyond. In the near future, we will continue to apply the rapidly developing drone technology, along with imagination, excitement, and a teamwork spirit to inspire the future Idaho STEM workforce and beyond.
