Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)

UAS Entrepreneurship

In partnership with Sinclair Community College Unmanned Aerial Systems and Geography departments, the Dayton Regional STEM Center provides five introductory lessons for UAS Entrepreneurship. Each of these five lessons gives students a chance to envision and create a plan to start their own UAS business. The experience culminates in the students presenting their “elevator pitch” speeches for their UAS businesses. Each link below takes you to a folder with the associated lesson plan and resources.

Lesson 1:  Introduction to Drones & UAS Technologies

Lesson 2:  UAS Applications and Technologies

Lesson 3:  Introduction to the Business Model

Lesson 4:  The Elevator Speech (How to Pitch Your Ideas)

Lesson 5: The Elevator Pitch Competition

These materials are based on work supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Project 1902003.

Aerial Sensing Data Analyst

In partnership with the Sinclair Community College Unmanned Aerial Systems and Geography departments, the Dayton Regional STEM Center provides four introductory lessons into the Aerial Sensing Data Analyst Pathway.  Each of these four lessons will give high school students a glimpse into the career of an Aerial Sensing Data Analyst, someone who uses data from unmanned aerial vehicles to map and make decisions about the world around them.  

Lesson 1:  SW Ohio Object Recognition

Lesson 2:  Passive Sensors and the Algal Bloom Problem

Lesson 3:  Healthy River Assessment

Lesson 4:  Mapping Forest Carbon with LiDAR

LiDAR Data for Lesson 4

Access to these lessons is free of charge due to the generous funding of the National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education program.
