Wings of Innovations (Drone Workshop)
Introduction: IEEE JUIT-SB organised a two-day Drone Workshop, offering participants hands-on experience in building and flying drones. The event attracted a diverse group of students with sessions designed to provide both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
Day 1: Introduction and Assembly
The first day focused on foundational knowledge and the assembly of drones.
● Introduction to Drones: Participants learned about various types of drones—multirotor, fixed-wing, and hybrids—and their uses in fields such as agriculture, photography, military, or logistics.
● Fundamentals of Aerodynamics: Essential aerodynamic principles like lift, drag, thrust and weight were explained so that participants could understand how drone flight works.
● Drone Components and Assembly: Attendees were taught about the components that make up drones like frames, motors, ESCs (electronic speed controllers), flight controllers, propellers as well as batteries. Q&A Session: There was a Q&A session at the end of the day where participants posed questions concerning drone functions among other things related to the assembly process.
Day 2: Testing and Flying
● The second day mainly focused on testing and flying as well as troubleshooting the drones.
● Safety Briefing: The participants were informed about safety measures, including local rules and regulations, pre-flight inspections, and how to fly safely.
● Calibration & Pre-Flight Setup: This part of the training covered drone calibration (gyroscope/accelerometer), configuring a remote controller and flight modes.
● Practical Flight Session: In an open space, beginners flew the drones testing such simple skills as takeoff, hovering and landing. They became more daring under tutor supervision trying out advanced moves.
● Troubleshooting & Adjustments: The class touched on common flight problems with students being taught how to recalibrate their systems, balance propellers, etc.
