Today in sensing drones we made our own checklist and added more things to check for before flying a drone, we did this so that we could fly the Drone out to grow food Northampton to fulfill our mission. Even though the weather was cloudy and rainy this was beneficial to our mission as the clouds decrease the shadows in the pictures. However the fact that it was also raining didn’t let us finish our mission, during the mission there were other people playing soccer so we had to be careful as to not fly the drones over them.
After lunch we looked at the pictures we took and we were given the opportunity to search for places we wanted to map, we spent the rest of class discussing how the world would be if drones were fully Incorporated in our lives. For this purpose we watched the film from the 2016 New York City film festival called Donnie the Drone and we each picked a fortune cookie at the end of class and then read The Fortunes out loud adding the phrase with drones at the end of them.
