Technology Project
Is there any interest in offering a technology based activity for cadets?
What are some ideas you as cadets would be interested in?
We would like to try and keep it aviation centered but I’m open to all ideas.
Was there a cool activity you did at summer training you’d like to expand on?
See a interesting project or activity and think we should try that? Let me know!
Ideas so far 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 a air plane tracker like a piaware flight feeder. https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/
