How do communication skills lead to success in STEM careers?
Welcome to Mission 1!
This mission is all about communication, because whether students know it or not, communication is a foundational skill for success in STEM. The goals of this mission are to build students’ communication skills by ensuring they can use precision in language and detail in descriptions. This mission also introduces key vocabulary that students will need in future missions.
Remember:
We offer Take Flight training to help bring your drone & STEM instruction to even higher altitudes.

⭐ Challenge 1: Lego Communication Challenge
Build communication skills, precision in language, detail in descriptions, including orientation.
⭐ Challenge 2: Flying Orb
Learn about the basic variables for flying drones, including lift, thrust, tilt, and air flow.
Build on the communication practices that are important for STEM success by learning how to create and communicate safe flying practices.
On completion of the post-assessment, students will receive a Certificate of Completion for STEM Communication Skills.
