GHS EAST Program Drone Project Description

A team of 7 Greenbrier High School EAST students are working to modify a drone that will essentially be able to create 3-D models using a 3-D rendering software. We are also hoping to incorporate a FLIR Infrared Thermal camera to detect gas leaks in time. Some examples of what we can use the FLIR camera for are: teaming with local police departments in fugitive searches at safe distances, possibly surveillance around the schools, also partnering with the Game and Fish Commission to track deer populations without disturbing them, along with many other uses. The drone will also be able to survey land and create 3-D maps, which can be useful in construction and many other educational purposes. We have partnered with the Innovation Hub who have provided a team of engineers to help us in our endeavors.

We hope you can follow our educational journey and progress through this blog.
