DRONES TECHNOLOGY ELECTIVE MODULE
Elective Module Description
Drones picked up in its popularity in the last few years, with IMDA's push for a SMART nation and rapid improvements in the Technology of drones. Drones are now widely used across industries like construction, film, surveillance, security, emergency response and many more. Drones Technology / Engineering Elective Module is a platform where students learn about the interesting career options and pick up a skill of flying.
This elective module comprises of a short theory lesson to give students foundational knowledge on the principles of flight spread out over the multiple days. Through a hands-on approach, the students will then apply science concepts to design, build and/or programme a quadcopter. As a reward, the students will get to test flight their product on the last day under the guidance of the trainer.
