2022-07-19: Drone Programming Studio Funded by ODU Faculty Innovator Grant Program 2022
Figure: DJI Tello Programmable Drone We are very excited to receive Faculty Innovator Grant 2022 funded by the Center for Learning and Teaching (CLT) at Old Dominion University. The goal of this grant is to help faculty to explore innovative uses of technology to improve student learning. This is in collaboration with Dr. Faryaneh Poursardar (PI) and Dr. Sampath Jayarathna (Co-PI) at the Department of Computer Science. Lack of experience in Computer Science students connecting programming skills with real-world problems led us to develop "Drone Programming Studio" control and manipulation of drones with various programming languages in CS programming course projects. One main issue that has been identified in academic institutions is that students do not have a chance to apply hands-on knowledge that combines their coding skills with real-world problems until their senior year. Drone programming projects proposed in this project will be a valuable experience...
