Aim:
To design a drone for a specific job that helps people, animals, or the environment.
Requirements:
-
Chart paper or drawing sheet
-
Pencil and eraser
-
Color pens or sketch markers
-
Ruler
-
Imagination and creativity!
Steps:
Step 1: Identify the Problem
Think of a real-world issue that needs help. Examples:
-
Animals in danger after floods
-
Farmers struggling to spray crops evenly
-
Trash floating in rivers
-
Villages with hard-to-reach hospitals
Write your chosen problem in your notebook.
Step 2: Imagine Your Drone’s Role
Ask yourself:
-
How can a drone help here?
-
What tools or attachments would it need?
Examples:-
Rescue drone: camera, speaker, rope hook
-
Farming drone: spray arms, fertilizer tank
-
Cleaning drone: gripper claw, net, suction arm
-
Sketch rough shapes to visualize the drone’s structure.
Step 3: Draw and Label Your Drone
On your chart paper:
-
Draw the top view and side view of your drone.
-
Label key parts — propellers, camera, sensors, delivery box, battery, etc.
-
Use colors to show different functions (green = sensors, blue = camera, orange = payload).
Step 4: Describe Its Purpose
Write 3–4 lines below your drawing:
-
What problem it solves
-
How it works
-
What makes it unique or helpful
Example:
“My River Cleaner Drone uses a gripper arm and net to collect plastic waste from lakes. It has a camera to detect floating bottles and a solar panel for power.”
Step 5: Present and Share
-
Present your drone design to the class or in small groups.
-
Explain its purpose, parts, and benefits.
Listen to others’ designs and give one positive comment each.
