dramatically decreased drone prices, increased theiravailability, and made operation easier, making these commonplace in society today. Drones are usedfor a wide variety of applications including personal entertainment, covering news and sporting events,conducting vital scientific research, monitoring critical infrastructure, and even providing emergencyservices. In addition, recent relaxations in the regulatory framework governing the rules for UASoperations by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have made it much easier to providemeaningful drone activities to precollege students.The erosion of these previous barriers has resulted in a much more conducive environment for collegeand precollege teachers to engage in drone-centric educational
