Aim:

To imagine, design, and present a drone that can help your community or solve a local problem.

Requirements:

• Chart paper or presentation slides

• Sketch tools, colors, or digital drawing software

• Reference pictures or internet access (if available)

• Markers, ruler, glue (for physical models)

Safety Tip:

Use only drawing or model-making materials. No real motors or circuits unless supervised by a teacher.

Step-by-Step Hands-On Process

Step 1 – Identify a Local Problem

Think of real issues in your area. Examples:

• Waterlogging during rains

• Plastic waste in rivers

• Traffic jams near schools

• Forest fire risk

• Delivery challenges in rural areas

Write the problem clearly at the top of your worksheet.

Think like a community engineer — what problem affects people the most?

Step 2 – Imagine the Drone’s Role

Brainstorm how a drone could help:

• Could it monitor, deliver, or alert people?

• What sensors, cameras, or tools would it need?

Write 3–4 sentences describing your mission objective.

Example: “My drone will deliver first aid kits to flood-affected areas.”

Step 3 – Sketch or Model Your Drone

Draw your drone with:

• Top and side view

• Label main parts (camera, sensors, arms, battery, propellers)

• Indicate any special attachments like sprayers or delivery boxes

If you’re making a model:

• Use cardboard, bottle caps, straws, and small boxes.

Add imagination — what shape or feature makes your drone unique?

Step 4 – Describe How It Works

Answer these in your notebook or poster:

1. What problem does it solve?

2. How does it fly or operate?

3. Who will use it (farmers, doctors, firefighters)?

4. What materials or technology would it need?

Step 5 – Present Your “Drone for the Future”

• Prepare a short 2–3 minute presentation or video.

• Explain the problem, your drone’s purpose, and its impact.

• Share with your class or school exhibition.

“You are now the engineer, inventor, and presenter — all in one!”
