Edison Junior High School - Mrs. Link's students worked on drone missions, simulating WWI carrier pigeons! The Mission Defined - It is crucial the pigeon delivers your message! You must navigate through the forest by coding your path! You must take off at the designated take off zone. You CAN’T fly higher than 4ft (convert to inches) There is a barrier in the way! You must fly on the RIGHT side of it! If you fly to the left… you will be too close to enemy lines. The only safe landing zone is the blue area. If you land anywhere else you will be in water!
