Technology Project
We are always trying to expand the program and offer different programs so there is something for everyone. Captain Walton is looking to offer an optional technology project. As air cadets, we would like to keep it related to aviation but are welcome to all ideas.
Do you have any ideas you would be interested in?
Is there a cool activity you did at summer training you’d like to expand on?
See an interesting project or activity and think we should try that? Let Captain Walton know!
Current ideas include:
- A code club, building and coding some sort of game or program. Possibility of using a Raspberry Pi or a micro controller like a Adruino
- Learning more about basic electronics
- Build a robot to preform a specific task.
- Build a fighting robot (battle BOT).
- Build and program a homemade drone or RC airplane.
- Build an air plane tracker like a piaware flight feeder. https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/
- Tear down and rebuild a small 4 stroke motor
- Air Traffic Control live simulation
